Hi.

According to me - it is an ongoing debate topic that Hindi should be official language or not.

As we know in India 22 languages are there and Hindi is widely spoken out of them, but many places in India don't know Hindi, like in Tamilnadu, Kerala. So if these people will get job in other regions then it will be tough to survive for them, like in MNC company English is spoken so we can have English as common language.

As we know English is widely practiced then Hindi in India and English is a medium of communication for our international relationships, and nowadays used in schools and offices so as in my opinion each Govt employe should have English communication skills.

As a conclusion, English should be a common language and we should focus on Hindi also as it was like an official language before our independence.

Hello everyone, A very good evening to all of you.

This is Ajay kumar, today my topic is should hindi be the official language of India.

In my point of view yes, it must be our official language to speak in our country. As we all know that India is a country of diverse land and there are many languages which is being spoken across our country. For the better communication, we all have to accept one language that is hindi as an official language. Many peoples feel uncomfort in expressing their views and ideas in english or other language as they express better in hindi. As we all know that different countries have different official languages and they feel proud to speak their own language but why we do not so? by speaking one language also helps to fasten the growth of the country.

Thank you for reading my opinion.

Hello everyone.

My name is Sandeep Kumar.

Yes, Hindi should be the official language in India, because most of the total population are spoken Hindi and should speak Hindi because of mother tongue. If we will distribute India in northern and southern states, we will find maximum no of people who are spoken Hindi but minimum people speak Hindi in southern states.

As we all know that Hindi is in 5th language in the world. If the Hindi gets the official language in India, many uneducated persons can keep their talk in any office because most of all regional language is connected with Hindi, I think that all most people can speak in Hindi and keep the situation in front of officers, and also I accept English but besides Hindi, English should learn, because English is the common language in the world.

Hii guys.

In my opinion, Hindi should not be the official language of India as.

1. Hindi is mainly spoken by major part of our country. But not in the whole country (like South India).
2. If we make Hindi our official language then I would become difficult for Foreigner to understand it.
3. As English is spoken by major part of the world so it becomes very convenient for the world to understand it and work runs smoothly.
4. If we make Hindi our official language then it would become difficult for some people of our own country to understand it like South Indians.
5. South Indians are not good in Hindi but they are much fluent in English.
6. If Hindi becomes the official language then we have to keep a translator with us all the time who can make them understand what our documents are saying.

Hindi should be our official language. Though India has 22 languages, however, Hindi is the most widely spoken among all. Hindi is the 5th most widely spoken language in the world. India was previously known as Hindustan, land of people who speak Hindi.

75% of the country resides in villages, where most of the people speak Hindi. So it is hard for them to accept English as their official language.

English is necessary to maintain Foreign relationships, but that could be done even if English is not our official language.

If we compare India to other countries so India has only where people officially they prefer English and locally they use the Hindi language. Every country has their identical language but only India who doesn't have their identity to present their language i.e. Hindi.

As far as my concerned There should be no official language for India. The people from North can understand hindi, as their mother tongue is hindi but what about the people of south ? Yes many of south people know hindi but why should we follow hindi as official language, what if we demand our regional language to be official language, are those hindi speaking states going to agree ? They won't, because o imposing hindi as official language and English as communicative language every state in India loosing its local language respect and knowledge.

Finally if we really need to have an official language then we all must vote for English which is easily understandable to everyone except the illiterate persons but the local officers will explain them in local language.

Since every country has their own language, so it is a necessity of our country to opt a national language. But our country has big diversity in custom, religion, caste, as well as a language so it is difficult to choose any language as national language. Hindi is spoken much more than another language so Hindi is a right choice. If people from different parts of our country learn English, speak English then why not Hindi? If Hindi became national language then riots, fight on language stopped all country men feel only one language people Hindibhasi. Interstate communication through documental as well as verbal become easy. People from every part of the country do not face problem during transfer as well as adaptation. So I think Hindi must be an official language.

Yes, Hindi should be the official language of India. Did anyone of you heard about "Devanagiri Lipi", in which what we speak it is written in the same way whereas in other languages it not in that way. What we speak is different from what we write. And it is the Language which can be easily written and easy to understand and speak and this is the reason why our government made it as an official Language of India. And most of the words are same as Sanskrit which is understandable by everyone. So just raising issue on this topic leads to national problem where every state has to fight.

The government should take further more steps for easy learning and be reading Hindi Language like making it compulsory as the first language in school, interlevel.

Thank you.

Hello! Everyone.

About: Should Hindi is an official language?

According to me, That the people who belongs from the south. They will be want to speak HINDI because the cultural effects.

So, I am from SIKAR (Rajasthan). It is the Shekhawati region. As you know that the language of there is MARWADI. Approximately few families in our city will speak Hindi.

So, we discuss our topic.

As you all know that, In whole INDIA all the citizens speak Hindi because our India is Subcontinent which is different from physically, geographically, and culturally that's why they can't understand Hindi clearly. But approx all the Indian can understand English clearly.

So, According to me, English should be the official language of India.

Thank you! & have a good day.

I don't agree with it that Hindi should be made official language of India. India is a developing country. We have economic relations with other countries and for that, we require some common language in which we can interact clearly. As other country's people won't understand Hindi it will only increase our problems.

There are still many remote places in India in which people don't know how to speak Hindi they don't know how to write in Hindi. Thus the point of making Hindi as our official language is not justified. As we all know that English is a global language and people from any corner of the world understand English so one thing which I would like to suggest is that instead of declaring Hindi declare English as it's official language.
