Should Hindi be the official language of India ?
Many cities in India have
different –different languages the
people doesn’t know one language which is spoken by everyone Hindi
should not be the official language
it is the majority but it is very different that all spoke Hindi and Hindi
is majority That has been tried already, with destroys results; that attempt
should not be repeated. Many Indian peoples (like Bengals, Tamils and others)
are proud of their own languages and traditions. Using English and learning
several Indian languages seems to work fine, and people will gather an
understanding of Hindi people are very sensitive and touchy about their own
languages, and will certainly protest against
if the Government even seems to create an issue on Hindi without heeding
the sensibilities of the Non-Hindi speaking population.
Though it may appear far fetched at this
point of time, world history is replete with strife or secession due to one
section attempting to impose their culture, religion or language on other
people. Many people blindly believe that Hindi should be made the National
Language, because it is having largest number of speakers ranging from 35% to
41% or even more. I don't think it is required anymore to make Hindi our
National Language. Now we should focus more on Nation Build-up and this is only
possible if we will be united. And united nation is only possible if we respect
each other's culture and Languages. Toga the
with Tamil, Kannada, Bangla, Marathi, etc., National language represents
the culture & tradition of the country.
Even the very small country like Singapore respects their <5% population, recognize their culture and value them as their Citizen. But in India the majority Hindi always refuses to recognize the minority languages as the rightful Citizens of India as equivalent to them. India is a country with multi ethnicity, multi language, and multi religious. We should respect every one equally regardless of their population.
Though Hindi is not a constitutionally recognized National language, but it is rumored and respected by Union Government as a only National language. All other language people are treated as second grade citizens of the country.

Few
Tamil, Bangla, Telugu, Malayalam language movements were fighting for the equal
rights since independence. There is no National Language for the country, and I
think it is not needed as well. India is a diverse nation and its diversity is
reflected by these facts. And we should not be Judgmental about the Languages
we speak, because it is just a mode of communication and every language in
India deserves equal respect. However I believe that Hindi should be taught in
Hindi speaking states and also researched more. It is a beautiful language for
those who speak it. But it is not necessary to be national language.
