Should Hindi be the official language of India?

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.

No, as we all know each and every state of our nation has a unique language and pride associated with it and imposing a single language would go against the spirit of our nation and this in no way is demeaning hindi which is also a culturally rich and largely spoken language. Diversity is our strength and it must be kept intact.

I think India's national language shouldn't be Hindi because in parts of India people don't speak Hindi. So I personally think english should be the official language India. But I also think every Indian should know our mother-tongue Hindi.

You can't simply stick to a single language where there are multiple languages in a country like India. Language is something which is used to convey our thoughts, both the speaker and listener should be in the same state when they try to share their thoughts. But most of us in the south don't know Hindi and we are not even ready to learn it. I don't think so Hindi is more superior than other languages.

For me Hindi is our mother tongue language because I belong to north India but still I cannot impose the same for all my brother from another part of the country where they belong to south India. It is not that easy for a person to be linguistic based on common assumptions. It is good for them to respect Hindi but learn based on their interest staying in their comfort zone but not necessarily to impose Hindi on them. For an example is it necessary for a Brahman to learn all vedic puran? just because he belong to the same community. The answer is NO. He should respect but learn according to his suitability. So to mug up with the very same problem English became a common ground for all of the Indians to communicate not only nationwide but internationally which is the extra plus point because all I can say this is a language which is being taught since childhood to all of us past of decades.

According to me hindi is not the official language of India because many people of the India not able to understand the hindi properly and English is better language to communicate.

Hi everyone,

India does not have a national language as there are more than 1600 languages in India and it would result in chaos. However as per the Indian Constitution Hindi (Devagiri script) and English are the official languages already.

No doubt Hindi language embraces beauty and we Indians are proud of it. But if we start from north and travel through towards south the use of hindi language goes on decreasing. Especially, the southern states which find it very difficult to speak as well as to learn hindi. They are more comfortable in english as compared to hindi. So currently I don't think that India is state of declaring Hindi as its official language.

India is banyan tree. All languages are inspirational as it's branches. We are progressive so it is essential to understand themes of all literature and accept valuable thoughts. It does not matter Hindi should be national language are not.

Those people who are favouring Hindi in this forum belongs to northern states of the country who think each & every Indian from all states do understand Hindi first of all they have never been in South India basically all southern languages are completely different from Hindi viz. Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam. In order to make common language for we will have to teach them to learn Hindi this act doesn't make difference to northern states because their dialects are similar to Hindi so it's natural for them to pick Hindi language easily & it's convenient decision for them too because they don't have to take efforts to learn anything new. Now when you impose this decision to southern states we should use our common sense that southern languages are completely different from Hindi n these people don't have even their alphabets similar to Hindi. In this scenario southern people will have to struggle to learn this language against their will which is against the fundamental right to preserve their language and there is really no need to speak Hindi to show unity if we really want to maintain unity first respect others emotions & respect their choices and their mother tongue which represent their values just bringing all people on common language platform won't bring unity it will rather create dissent n injustice feeling in large mass of nation. India has two official languages Hindi and English. If you can't talk Hindi which is convenient to north India then talk in English which is familiar to all Indians because English is common language of education all over nation. If we keep on insisting & impose Hindi on all then that day is not far when our all beautiful mother tongues will be degraded and vanished for the sake of one language which has happened to Maithili already.
