Do we need a Single Common Language for India?

Yes we need a "One India,One Language". Many of us are traveling from north to south OR East to West, i felt a bit problems with the different languages in different regions.. There is some states mostly uses their mother tongue. And Some how people may act partial looking their lanuage like marathi, gujrati, tamilian, malayali etc... Most of them can't remember that we are INDIANS first..

Yes we certainly do.

And I suggest Sanskrit as this is mother to many Indian languages,  is extremely accurate, powerful and is most technology friendly. 

Dear Deepak,

Give a thought once more....

What difference do we find when we say we are "INDIAN" may I ask?

Should we do things only if they make a difference that individual can feel almost immediately or think sometimes as a nation.

Imagine the possibility of being able to effectively communicate with a Indian citizen in remotest part. 

Deaf Manoj,

We must not allow practicality or difficulty to overtake reasoning.

If you feel a nation may not have a language that it can call National Language, I am sure you may not find it within reason.  

Definitely yes.....no doubt we have english as one....but that z not the perfect solution...after all it is a foreign language.....why to go for this firangi basha wen we have our own...the gr8 hindi.....no doubt we need to n we must learn n respect every other tongue...but for the one common i think HINDI is perfect match.....

yes english

Surely we need to come up with one COMMON LANGUAGE and help our nation (India) to develop and grow.

Certainly there is a need for common link language. I have been to all southern states except Keral aduring my official tours. I am told that people in Keral, especially Cochin or Trivandrum know Hindi. The left govt does encourage people there to speak in Hindi. The other southern states Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh there is definitely big problem. The fact is that even in main cities of Bangalore and Chennai people dont know Hindi. Tamil Nadu is worst among them all as DMK govt constantly was and is engaged in Hindi Bashing. The result is people there do not know Hindi. English is anyway not too common for common people anywhere in India. I challenge people who say that English becomes a link language. This shows the terrible mentality of Indians. Just because there is a fear among you that NOth Indian or Hindi speaking people are more in numbers and affect the policies in the centre, you are bent on leaving a large portion of your masses left to fend for themselves confined to their own state only. Left to itself Hindi would have clearly been the link language of India but thanks to so called intellectuals in collusion with Dravid parties made sure that Hndi remains in the backseat. Just ask anyone, a person from Andhra, suppose goes to Tamil nadu, which language will he speak? Surprisingly they speak in Hindi. Fortunately in Hyderabad, being a Nizam state people there know Hindi and speak well, otherwise in other parts of the state language is the problem. The absence of link language creates such a big problem that leave alone for the north Indians to move to south and encounter this problem, what about the south Indians who are made to move to other state? What will he do? Which Govt will help him with his livelihood? No one, there is no one to help him out. I repeat English is a foreign language, dont expect that common masses will speak English in day to day conversations or dealing in near future, its got to be Hindi, the language of the country. HWat is the problem in making Hindi the Link language? Leave the people to choose the language of teir choice, I am fully confident Hindi will be real winner. The main setback in not having a link language is the national unity. Its true that India is united in diversity but its unity is severely hampered by the loss of link language and its the high  time people leave aside the politicians and come forward with thier own solution.
