Hello.
I am Palak. I am in favour of this statement that "Hindi should be the official language of India".
Many people are saying that the development of our country can be done with English but I oppose this statement because as we all know that there was the rule of Britishers in India approximately 200 years then why our country "India" doesn't develop by that time with English used by Britishers?
From my point of view, that our country"India" is developing rapidly with "Hindi".
So according to me, "Hindi should be the official language of India".
Thanks.

Hello Friends,
I feel that the Hindi language could have been an official language if everyone is speaking Hindi in India. India has 22 official languages. According to Census of India, the total number of mother tongues spoken in India is 1652. However, only around 150 languages have a sizable speaking population. The Indian census of 1961 recognised 1, 652 different languages in India (including languages not native to the subcontinent).
With these statistics, if we make Hindi as an official language then Indian citizen will only suffer.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I am Akash Nigam and I think we need common platform. We live in a democratic country and everybody had a right to choose to talk in which language, but in reality, this clause is really dividing people who live in India. Now the question is How? so everyone feel and express differently now suppose there 5 different group who speak different language and 5 group of people who express them self in the same way. So the survival rate second group of is high. So yes we need a common language no matter if it is Hindi or some other language.

Hello everyone.
In my point of view, Hindi shouldn't be made as India's official language because if made it won't be a unifying factor for India. Our entire country is divided into different states based on languages if Hindi becomes official language the people speaking other language feel they're alienated hence there will unnecessary chaos in the country that's why our founding fathers of our country didn't made Hindi the official language. Hence to preserve our unity in diversity we shouldn't make Hindi as the official language of India.

Hello Dear Indians,
In my opinion, Hindi should remain the Official Language of our country. Since time immemorial, Hindi has been the main medium through which people communicated ideas with one another. If we turn the pages of history, we will see that most of our freedom fighters spoke for Freedom in Hindi. Many of the slogans were made in Hindi.
Some regions may not agree to this, but it may be because of their insecurity to lose their cultural language. But it can't be denied that HINDI is an easy-to-learn language and it UNITES India.

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.

I do think that India should have Hindi as an official language because each and every develops countries have its own language and it is one of the reasons for a countries development. And it will help different state people's to communicate among themselves. Which is really troublesome in India. People from south have problem to communicate when they visit north side and vice-versa. On the other hand, people should also learn English for communicating to the world as English is used the world wide for better economical relation.

So according to me, India can develop with Hindi from the point of view that our country is developing rapidly with Hindi. So Hindi should be our official language.
Thanks.

Yes, 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.

I think the debate on this topic is enough now. There are few states people trying imposing Hindi on all they don't understand how other non-hindi will suffer from it, they are just behind their own convenience forgetting about others concerns. This is not the situation for which south Indian states had joined to form Indian union it's destroyed attack on their mother tongue n identity. If this tussle goes on then its better all Hindi favouring states should form their own Hindi country n leave apart non-Hindi states.
