According to my view, English should be the official language of India because nowadays all the official work, interviews, are based on English language there is no use of Hindi and English medium school are also increasing in number in the comparison of Hindi medium school it is true that Hindi realise India's rich history or culture but if we talk about development it is important than culture so many peoples are saying that Hindi is easy to understand and speak, this is the basic problem of Indians that they don't want to try something hard in their life they want everything easy for them the last but not the least English should be the official language of India.

Thanks.

Many people know Hindi and it's now commonly used by everyone and everyone aware of it so I think it will be better to make it a national language also if someone doesn't know and people who know but they can't speak and response in Hindi so I think for them it will be better in my opinion that we should make textbooks in Hindi and teachers that's means our education system should also be in favor of this and tell teachers of every school whether it's Hindi medium or English medium school private or government or Anganwadi whatever it is but they should be taught in Hindi then only we can make Hindi our national language cause it should start with our Indian education system.

Hello everyone!

According to me, it will be good that our country will have a common language in the future because some countries like the US have a common language. If someone speaks in Hindi the north side people only understand and in Malayalam the Kerala people only understand. So common language for our country will be to understand the speeches of the PM like other high officials. This is my opinion if there is any mistake forgive me. And the common language will be very easy to learn for rural people and also the language will be an Indian language.

Personally, I think that I would like to choose Hindi as a common language because very much people know Hindi.

Hi,

Before I give any opinion, Friends I want to clear this concept about 'THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE' which was also misunderstood by me. The official language doesn't refer to a language spoken by the citizens' of a country but a language used within the government. This gives all of us a freedom to speak and refer to any language we want! which includes our mother tongue too. Also because 'official language' isn't about which language should be spoken by everyone, no person within the country will feel that there was injustice done to their mother tongue since India is a diverse nation and probably the only nation to speak many different or multilingual languages.

Yeah, we should make Hindi as an official language. There is no danger for the growth or make any difference between our bilateral relations or discussion. Even our prime minister addressed In foreign countries in hindi and instead of That our international relations are getting better. So english language is only increasing difference in our society. Hindi medium and english medium has now developed in people minds. Hindi people are looked by educated people like they are alien or what. Which shows gaps in our country among people how it would progress?

Well, I won't say anything more because this is India anything could happen here so leave it.

Hi,

Should Hindi be the official language in India, In my opinion, it's not. Because we are Indian and our mother tongue is Hindi It's the reason. Obviously not. We know that India is a country where 60-70% people are from rural area. But I want to remember you that in our country most of the IPS, IS and good rank holder people are from rural area. I know that other languages are not easy to learn English etc. But we are the Indians man we know our self very well, there is nothing impossible to us. We are the top 10 in world in economy, our businesses went to be globalized that is one of the best reason that we try to learn some other languages.

Of course, 100percent without any doubt Hindi should be the official language of India. Because it is the only language which is commonly spoken by every person of this country. From the north to south and east to west people are able to understand this language. Even an illiterate person can easily understand this. And this is official language means. Which is understand and spoken by every person which lead forward all the sections of society come together. Moreover, English as a second language must be promoted to move with the world. HINDI as an official language does not mean we should ignore other ones. Each language has its own place.

I have presented my opinions about the Hindi language that it should be our official language of our India but along with Hindi A person should also know the English language because English is a global language and it is understandable around the whole world so if we have knowledge of English language then we will get many benefits through it. It will develop our personality and many more. So by taking many benefits of English language in mind so many peoples have commented that English should be our official language.

But tell me one thing when you will communicate with The Almighty then in which language would you feel comfortable?

Hi,

I do believe in patriotism and the respect of our culture, Hindi is already our national language making it our official language will only make things more confusing around us, there are people (especially the south Indians) still don't know Hindi. Hindi is only used when you have to deal with work or communication to the local people especially in the rural areas other than that there is no requirement to know Hindi. With the use of simple English language, you can live and survive in India. Hence there is no need to make Hindi as our official language it's already our National language and let's respect it and be proud of it.

Hi,

First of all, I would like to tell that Language is just a way to communicate our opinion, just for understanding what other says. It does not depend upon the language, what we speak.

Yes, we are in 8th largest economy in the world so we need to speak in English for foreigners. It is not only that English is their official language but yes is it for that we Indians respect every language.

But yes we are 7th largest nations in the world. Most of the country has their own officials language like - Chinese in China, Spanish in Spain, Rush in Russia, German in Germany,

So let's make "Hindi is for Hindustan".

Jai hind.
