I would say Hindi won't last for long. As many of our countrymen don't understand and don't speak. Everyone is developing, why should we Indians believe in our past. Don't live in past gone are those days, now Hindi won"t work. I believe English in Hindi accent should be our official language. Think of present, the past has nothing new to say.

Yes, Hindi should be our official language because we must promote our country through our national language. Talking about English, we must speak English because of today's need. We can take an example of China, as there official language is Chinese and also when the Chinese president goes in other nation's he speaks Chinese as well i.e. he is promoting country through his language. Also, our PM speaks in Hindi as well asEnglish while giving a speech. So, I feel Hindi should be our Official Language but we must speak English More as well.

Well guys with all due respect to our national language, I consider Hindi shouldn't be our official language right now, as I'm from south India from the past decade Hindi is taught in our school as mandatory so the present generation can manage to do the official government work in Hindi as well, but the previous generation they can't even understand it very well. So after some after each and every state are made to at least write in Hindi we may declare Hindi as our official language.

Yes, Hindi should be the official language of India but till now it is not possible due to regional politics played by parties. People should reject negative politics and accept hindi as national language and at the same time preserving their own culture and language.

According to me, Hindi should not be declared as an official language. Many people are residing in this earth. Each people mother tongue is different, For every people their language is important. Hindi is spoken by only fewer people in Tamilnadu, Kerala etc. And it is also difficult to understand. Language should not be a barrier between people. Hindi as an official language in not accepted. According to the majority, Tamilians are more in number, they know Tamil, English, Telugu etc. But Hindi is only a third language to many students. So they do not know it completely. Thank you.

Yes, in my point of view, Hindi should be our official language, because we al are living in a different state so we all have different mother tongue (native language). So we need to one official language which language we all understand. Ex- 2 stranger are met in one place one is from Chennai whose language is Telugu and another one has from Punjab they both have need one official language which language they understand each other.

As per my opinion, Hindi should not be the official language of India, Because India is countries where people with different cultures and religion live together. Most of them, especially belonging to South India region do not understand Hindi as compared to English.

Hi, readers.

I am here to just correct Ms.Kritikakapoors sentence she told Hindustan is meant for the land of speaking Hindi. It is absolutely wrong its meaning is the land of Hindus. And yes, of course, we are living in a large country with so many languages so we need to unite by one language but why only Hindi. There are other languages hugely spoken by others like Telugu, Bengali etc. So someone says Hindi spoken people are high that's why we should use Hindi as official. But today English is mandatory everywhere why don't you put English as official. Even it is very beneficial to travel around the world. Some regional areas like Tamilnadu they oppose Hindi strongly. And in the South Indian States, they don't know proper Hindi because they can't speak Hindi in society other than text books. In this case, why not we choose English as an official language. Being Hindi as an official language it leads to discrimination too. The exams like UPSC, SSC in that exams the Hindi spoken people are benefitted what about others. Please, guys think about it.

Thank you.

Hi everyone!

In my opinion, Yes, hindi should be our official language. When compared to engish its difficult to understand but once we learn hindi as english then everyone can understand and speak. Since, hindi is our national language why should we have english as official language. We can change hindi as official.

According to my personal opinion, Hindi should not be the official language of India. It has already been declared as our national language. And a lot of controversies has arisen because of this. Let's not make anymore controversy by making it the official language. Because in office correspondence English being global language and being taught in school, colleges. Everybody understands it. For Hindi being the official language. It has to be taught in school, colleges first. Why do that when already we are doing well with English. And has moreover advantages that good for foreign communication also being a global language. Diversity is our culture but by the English language, we get integrated nationally and internationally. Nationally Hindi is being promoted in films and by watching films these days I think everybody these days can speak Hindi. So there should not be discrimination and differences of north and south and only English should be the official language.
