south India _southern part not fight equally to Northern part.North people fought for independence hence they are poor.Migration is not a problem. After independence nearly 60 years congress ruled the country.even though they have not recognized your patriotism and they have not yet supported your life. Please if you can visit once PATNA to BHAT, you have to cross GANGA river, there is a bridge.SEE that condition Like that the poor people s life there.It is not because of the independence war.Its because yet they have not got the freedom from their MAFIA. so they are migrating.they are biharis.They know hindi. Simply dumping money to teach hindi for us,ask the govt to recondition the bridge like that do something for them.they will live in their own land. they have water (gANGA).they are hard working. but our govt teaching hindi for me instead of that give them some money to procure agri materials is good.I think so. if you think it is childish teach me hindi.I traveled some what in north so I told something .I feel bad now. sorry.

How do you define a language as being NATIONAL - any language spoken by a majority of people in a country or state is termed nationally accepted language used or understood for communication or otherwise, thus in this scenario, how can you not say that HINDI is NOT a NATIONAL LANGUAGE of INDIA? And please, let me tell you that even in the southern parts of India, esp., TN, people do understand Hindi though may not speak effectively. So, what are we debating here?

If a Court verdict is to be challenged then, it needs to be appealed to the higher court. As per our Constitution, nothing is accepted as a National Language. It only spelt about the Official languages. Just have a look at this. http://india.gov.in/knowindia/profile.php?id=33

I added below how INDIA likes HINDI and INDIAN government facilitates HINDI.I am now seeing from UP and MP people are migrating for food as labours to South INDIA where Hindi is not even state official language.Instead of spending money on languages create better opportunities for them to live in their state.

arguments see Srivastava 1975). (4) Language Movements in the South and in the North (i.e., anti-and pro-Hindi Movements) act and react in a spiral way ; each major political action of the North towards a policy formulation and implementation regarding Hindi gets rebounced by a reaction from the South and vice-versa. (5) Language Movements have their own effect on the formulation of language policy and its implementation. The Official Language policy has been shaped through stress and strain and compromise and reconciliation. It is for this reason that politically the democratic system existed through the agencies external to its structure and the integrated outlook was evolved not by the developmental capability of the dominating ruling party but by the dispersal and amalgmation facilities of decision makers. (6) Socio-ethnic factors are invariably brought into the gamut of Language Movements. It has been pointed out by Max Weber that group organizations with political discourse are generated out of two types of social relationships ; communal which is based on sentiment and tradition and associative which is founded on belief in achieving certain pragmatic ends. The organized associations in India through religious and cultural bond combined the two factors in defence of political values. It is for this reason that Language Movements in southern States characterized Hindi domination as a symbolof political source of Aryan and Brahmanical cultural domination. Dravidian movement of South was in fact a movement against Aryan and Brahmanical culture. The Dravida Kazhagam (DK) and later the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) were merely the extension and intensification of militant and dynamic antireligious 'Self Respect Movement' of 1925. It was under this fervour that E. v. Ramaswamy Naicker appealed DK to burn the national flag and the North-South animosity was exploited by DK in the form of Ravan Leela in Madras on December 25, 1974 wherein effigies of Rama, Lakshmana and Sita were burnt. Bringing in socio-ethnic factors is not the sole peculiarity of the South ; in fact, it is in the socio-cultural soil in India. Similar was the move by Sir Sayd Ahmed Khan who founded the 'United Indian Patriotic Association' and formulated the two nation theory for India which through Aligarh Movement gave rise to the Pakistan Movement.

Anti-Hindi bloc was generally in favour of promoting English to the official statues though claims for Sanskrit and Bengali were also occasionally got voiced. According to Ayyangar, English was the language on which "We have built and achieved our freedom". For Naziruddin Ahmed and Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukerjee, English opened to India knowledge, specially in the realm of science and technology and its acceptance may be 'disagreeable necessity ; but still it s a necessity." Nehru was of the opinion that "We must have our own language" but according to him, "English is undoubtedly today the nearest approach to an international language". The viable national language policy was evolved under Munshi-Ayyangar formula as a measure of compromise on several issues. Following were some of the salient features:- (i) Hindi is the official rather than the national language of India [Art.343 (1)]. (ii) English is to be retained for a period of fifteen years from the date of implementation of the Constitution i.e. 1950 [Art.343 (2)]. (iii)Claims of the regional languages were upheld through the VIII schedule. (vi)Hindi-Hindustani conflicts were resolved through the ambiguous directive of Art. 357. The Constitution provides provision for the appointment of a Language Commission to advise the President regarding the progressive use of Hindi and restriction on English for the official purposes of the union. The first Official Language Commission was appointed on 7th June, 1955, which submitted its report on 31st July, 1956. The Committee of Parliament on Official Language under the Chairmanship of G. B. Pant submitted its report to the President on February 8, 1959. "Pant realized that the post-independence fervour to have one language as the facts of national unity jas ebbed away, The critcism that Hindi had neither any cultural nor political pre-eminence over the other regional languages had become louder." (Nayar 1969 : 32). This was the voice generated outside Hindi region ; Tandon expressed the other view : 'Hindi, for me, is the most patent means of unification and integration'. The recommendation of the Committee was that Hindi be accepted as the principal and English a subsidiary language with no target date for the switch over. Members of non-Hindi region were not happy over the recommendation. S. K. Chatterjee clearly mentioned that the orientation of the Commission was in favour of Hindi speakers 'whoa are to profit immediately and for a long time to come, it not for ever,' Anthony held the view that 'it spells the inevitable disintegration of the country' and Subbarayan characterized it as a victory of 'militant chauvinism.' The nature and pattern of these movements against Hindi as an Official Language reveal clearly the following points : (1) Language movements were organised by such speech communities which felt that with the exclusive adoption of Hindi as an Official Language, their opportunity for securing government jobs and other status positions will be lost and therefore, their social mobility will be blocked. Added to this was fear that Hindi speaking Indians wouid tend to dominate the government. (2) Language Movements were instituted and instigated by the elite middle class who are bilinguals speaking English in addition to a regional language. Apart from occasionally laying emphasis on the promotion of their own regional languages, they considered their action towards the retention of English, which gave to them power and Status. (3) Several self-made and tailored arguments in favour of the rentention of English were adduced. Some major arguments put forward by the Movements are: (i)English is a developed language best suited for our industrial an scientific progress. (ii) English is less divisive because of its neutral character ; i.e. the theory of "the equal distribution of handicaps" which "in our situation only English secures'. (iii)English is not really a foreign language for India as 'foreign is a political concept. Nothing is foreign when we make it our own.' (for a critique of these

Generally Court go by facts and bases and following court rather than emotions may be right for all of us.Hindi was imposed on nation by few political players to keep comfort level of Muslims who were rulers not much before and were still enjoying many official positions.North Indian Hindus were emotionally blackmailed and were put in big loss.While south states which due to inherent difference could not practically adopt Hindi came to a winning position...see the difference in progress and availability of Employment in these states and residents of these states.I know better Hindi than English but i don't deny to fact.

I am opting this side for reasons that "HINDI"has been conferred the title of national language constitutionally.It never means exlusion of other languages.This exception has been made as majority of people understands Hindi language. And for exchange of cross communications with people speaking different national languages,there was necessity of selecting one of the language. I do think Gujarat High Court has been quoted out of contest.

Our education system rude us like this.When there is no National Language for india, It should not be published in any school or college book as "Hindi is the National Language", Teacher should not taught to students.Tamil is the oldest language and tamilian ruled everywhere in the world, Also Hindi is a Indo-European Language,But the tamil or tamil based other dravidian languages are not mixed of other country languages.Even the "Maayans" who lived 5000 Years and who are the most knowledgeable peoples are in the all time world history are Tamils.For your reference you can refer Mr.Gene D Matlock Books.I want to share these lines written by him.Check the link for his books THE MAYANS WERE TAMILS. "I am now ready to return to the hypothetical voyage of Tamils to America. They probably used two types of maps. The map below-left shows Mt. Meru with petals pointing in four directions. The left petal points toward a distant land called Ketumal or Chetumal. In order to reach that land, they had to go eastward in order to avoid sailing around the tip of Africa. They knew where they were going, for they had been there before! The map below-right was their own map of the world. The Mayans said that the land of their forefathers lay 150 days westward. When the Tamils arrived in North America, they crossed over to what is now the Caribbean Sea, through the Isthmus of Panama (The Great Crossing). After coming out the other side, they docked in the safe harbor of Chetumal. It still bears the same name. Chetumal harbor is in Belize. Belize derives from Belisha (God Shiva)." http://books.google.com.qa/books/about/India_Once_Ruled_the_Americas.html?id=J2QEAAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y. The Education system s...s

Why not create a Federation For Simple National Language Script,India? In the past India has spent so much time in creating new language scripts under different rulers.Now in the internet age some languages may disappear if they are not simplified or made translatable. As you know that Gujarati Script is a simplified version of Devnagari script without horizontal lines. In fact it’s a developed Devnagari script where you write comparatively lesser times lifting the pen. Sure,Hindi is spoken by more peoples in India but it’s not technical and very cluttered language with horizontal lines.It’s writings in newspapers look like an old Sanskrit language.If you look all Indian languages in Google Transliteration IME you will find Gujarati script very simple computer-usable language Script.Gujarati alphabet is very very easy for foreigners to learn and practice. We all know that Devnagari is not the script of Hindi to begin with.Basically it is the script of Sanskrit,unquestionably the language of India,not any region. Sanskrit language used horizontal lines for grammatical lengthy meaningful words. Besides languages in a Devnagari script which Indian old or current languages or world languages use horizontal lines to make words more cluttered in appearance?Why draw lines if not needed? As you know China has simplify it’s language to make it computer usable.Also most of European countries and other world countries use English Script for their national languages. Think,Why most Hindi song lyrics are written in English but not in Hindi? People don’t mind learning Hindi in their state language script but India needs one easy Script for all languages and that’s Gujarati Script.But let the people of India decide what they want. Please do express your opinion about this. http://saralhindi.wordpress.com/ http://saralhindi.wordpress.com/2011/08/11/%E0%AA%AE%E0%AB%81%E0%AA%B2%E0%AA%BE%E0%AA%95%E0%AB%8D%E0%AA%B7%E0%AA%B0/ Thanks,

Define a national language, define a dialect and define slang then. What is a language? Simply going, it’s a medium/ way to communicate and express ourselves. If any court puts question on its nationality, then law need a radical transformation. At least, put any language away from the restrictions because it connects the globe and binds us together in a single rope when our taste, culture and nationality is different.

English is not the international language. "Multilingualism should be preserved and encouraged by various actions within the United Nations system, in a spirit of partnership and communication. The balance among the six official languages, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish, with English and French used in day-to-day professional exchanges, has been an ongoing concern of all the Secretaries-General. Numerous activities have been undertaken, from 1946 to the present, to promote the use of the official languages to ensure that the United Nations, its goals and actions were understood by the widest possible public. Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish are the six official languages of the United Nations. English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat (resolution 2 (I) of 1 February 1946). The issue of multilingualism should be considered from several angles, in particular internal and external communications. Internal communications take place within the Organization, whether official communications between Member States and all the actors involved in the work of the United Nations or communications among Member States and the United Nations Secretariat. A distinction must be made among working languages and official languages. External communication, intended for the widest possible audience, can include languages other than official languages used to disseminate the messages of the United Nations. Finally, in order to promote all the aspects of multilingualism, the question of human resources must be envisaged separately.

Hindi was never our national language. In order to make life and communication easy, there was an official language selected. Hindi was selected because most of the part of India knew Hindi. There are many different facts and books written for every language. Its not about what is old or how much it is spread in different other countries; its moreover about how much is Hindi known in our country and how many people understand this language. A language is of no use if the person you are trying to communicate doesnt know what are you speaking. Everybody wants their mother language to be to be accepted as official or national language. Okay even if one day out of blue this is done; what then??? thats it?? Hindi is known by maximum part of India. It would be much easier to convey a message in Hindi if this message is conveyed to fellow Indians. Change is good; but changing should make sense.

Hindi is not hindustan.HIndus formed hindustan.How the 25% of total population whose mother language is Hindi such eager to impose Hindi on others. WHY not we?ThamiZAn,invaded countries upto HIMALAYAS, Then why not Tamil be our National language?Thamizan uyir irukkum varaikum hindi thesiya mozi aga mudiyathu.Pethha telugu thesalumu thelugu ve mathiya bashala ande emi seyya othu.

Yes' i do agree with u Himanshu... we respect all our regional languages, but problem lies here in our faith that we are not accepting it in the way. we are heart-fully accepting English as international language ,rather than telling other language like Russian French must be international one .So PROBLEM LIES IN OUR THOUGHT PROCESS ACROSS THE COUNTRY not in our national language."Hindi hain hum vatan hain Hindustan humara saare jaha se accha Hindustan humara"

Oh there is no need to be emotional with Hindi! Although, we all (particularly North Indians) have been raised with this mother-tongue but this is the age of being silver-tongued and Englishization led by globalization has shown us. We though, sneer at English but have amalgamated it in our lives to the core, which is necessary at the moment. Be it job or any other place, Hindi is eroding and accept it as a matter of change! Embrace it without radicalizing like Shiv Sena thugs

Whether a language is our National Language or not shall be decided by the Constitution and/or any other law enacted in that regard and not simply by the majority sentiment. And it is a FACT that our Constitution DOES NOT UPHOLD HINDI as our 'national language' but rather lays down a list of 22 Official Languages of the country. So, there is no reason why Hindi should be said to be India's National Language.

Hi, Just for your FYI:Tamil, english,chinese & "Malay" (not malayalam) are the "OFFICIAL" languages of SGP. For Malaysia , its Malaysian. Also there is a difference between malay & malayalam, but surely malayalam & tamil is "Spoken" in these countries: http://www.comparical.com/comparison/malay-vs-malayalam-MTIwMTY http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malay_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore

Its not only in India that different languages are spoken..there are many countries in the world where different languages are spoken.. still every country has one or couple of languages as their national language.. if court says Hindi is not our national language may i know what it is our national language or is it that India doesnot have any national language??

Absolutely not ! When there are a plethora of languages in a country like india, how can one language be called the national language. If te no.of people speaking a language is the criteria, then i am not everse to even declaring english as our national language. And No ! sanskrit is the oldest indian language and hind sure didnt come from it. Most of the southern languages came from it. Kudos to the court !

अगर आज फिर से बात होती है राष्ट्रीय भाषा की तो फिर से बात होनी चाहिए राष्ट्र की राष्ट्रीय गान की और हर उस चीज़ की जो आज तक राष्ट्रीय है. भारतीयता की बात क्यों नहीं की जाती नोर्थ इंडियन और साउथ इंडियन क्यों है सिर्फ इंडियन क्यों नहीं लगता है जो भविष्य हमारे बलिदान देने वाले हजारों राष्ट्रभक्तो ने देखा था उसको हम ही आज गलत साबित करने लगे हैं हम आज भी भारतीय नहीं होना चाहते बोली और जगह के नाम पर बटवारा आज भी है. तो उन लोगो की शहादत का क्या जो देश को एक करने के लिए दी गयी अंग्रेजी हर स्टेट मई बोली जाती है और आपस में बातचीत का साधन भी है हिंदुस्तान में भी और हिन्दुस्तान से बाहर भी तो क्या अंग्रेजी को राष्ट्रीय भाषा बना दिया जाए हम लोग ये जितना जल्दी समझ ले उतना अच्छा है कि हम भारतवासी है हमारा राष्ट्रीय गान एक है और राष्ट्र भाषा भी एक है जो चुनी जा चुकी है और साथ में ये भी अधिकार दिया जा चूका है कि आप जिस भाषा में चाहे उसमे बोले ये बोलने का अधिकार संविधान में है तो हमें जोर ये देना चाहिए कि हम भारत में बोली जाने वाली हर भाषा सीखें और इसके लिए बकायेदा कोउर्सेस चल रहे है हर बोर्ड में. और अपनी राष्ट्रीय भाषा भी सीखें विदेशी भाषाएँ भी सीखें लेकिन जब भी राष्ट्र के विरोध में कोई भी गलत बात जो राजनीति से प्रेरित हो उसका विरोध करे जितना ज्यादा आप भाषाओँ को सीखेंगे उतना ही आप ज्यादा साहित्य पढ़ पाएंगे और अपने ज्ञान को बढ़ा पायेंगे

Sir jii, here we are not talking about the language which spoken world wide. The argument is about " Hindi is our National Language or not ? ". As we all know that Hindi is spoken inside the country mostly and if we see the ratio of spoken language in India Hindi cover almost all area of India and Tamil is only spoken in Tamil nadu. This type of statement's separate India. Language binds ppl . This is my hummable request to all that : Be Indian and Bind India.

According to High court the nation wide official work is not in Hindi coz of politician because they want local vote.Actually there is myth about Hindi that it is the mother tongue of north India people and is made the national language than why not our mother tongue is made national language,this is the thinking of non Hindi speaking state especially those of south and eastern part of INDIA.But if u will see u will find that max north India state like punjab rajasthan Delhi UP bihar chattisgarh jharkhand where Hindi is at the par do not have Hindi as there mother tongue.If u will see the modern Indian history u will find that Hindi was made as a common platform for everybody to fight against Britishers and that what Gandhiji said that Hindi will give us power to make india free.And forgot about all the nation the most respected and powerful entity of INDIA the parliament work is done in Hindi where people from all state occupy a seat there.The High court of Gujarat should understand this.I dont understand that why south INDIAN east Indians hate Hindi and they very well accept hindi. If u r giving preference give it your mother tongue first but the second preference should be your national language but it wont happen.

Mr. pandianarjunan . With every regards I appreciate your insight but can you please let me know IS THERE ANY WORD ENGLISH IS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE ? Absolutely NOT right but English is accept Lingua-Franka or language of the world so the same stands with Hindi too as it is the most widespread and spoken language all over India. Please you are free to correct me if I am wrong

Really? Why do we spend time and space over a trivial matters when we got so much to focus on other vital needs. Anyway with the internet and other new media, frankly the idea of national date is outdated. Frankly, surprised to see the court takes times to pass verdict on this trivial matter when more necessary files are pending before its bench.

This sort of controversial verdiction shows the individual perception, pondering over one particular area. Gujarat high court gave this verdiction it doesn't mean that National language will be changed from Hindi to Gujarati, Each & Every person whomsoever was there in the foundation of free India, if they didn't prevail contravercy then no people has right to crate this soert of futile misconception.

I don`t think people will go against the view of father of nation in this regard. Mahatma Gandi who is not only the father of nation but also from Gujrat did a lot to make Hindi our national language. This language is spoken in most number of people of this country. It also played a vital role in our struggle to independence. Now if some people today want to replace hindi by regional languages like Gujrati or Marathi only to fulfill their cheap desire and want to devide nation on the basis of languages and challenging bapu`s view then I don`t think I`d say anything to such shameless people. Whatever they want to do they are free but Hindi was the National language it is the national language and it will remain to be so.

can not under stand "maharastrians &tamilan will do any thing for their job done".Only marathians and tamilans fought English and moguls freedom.They lost their lives for the holy thing the language ,as its in their blood.Even now we did not fight for kalistan, pakistan, We accept we are Indians.But we can not lick your shoes.If Your blood is thicker than ourselves, letr the central govenment have to announce No need of money from south indians or non hindi persons.We are not begging from Delhi, What we earned ,we remitted as IT, getting back the same percentage only.We serving in middle east getting money from there , raising the forign money circulation, getting the same back.Without hindi we can speak eith Arabi, can earn money.But in ASSAM, hindi speaking UlFA wants a free nation,in jarkhand,koorgaland, nagaland,kashmir wher ever hindi spoken officialy wants freedom from INDIA,WHY, the HINDI can not form India, hindi can not de the national language even in hindi speaking regions.

It may not be the first language born in India. (Which is?). But it is the most widely spoken one in India. And was established as the national national language at the very beginning of our journey as a nation, as a overwhelming spoke that language. Revisiting that decision will only open a pandora's box.
