How can we bridge this gap between people on Language speaking terms?

Sanskrit is the mother of all the languages spoken in India today. Everyone is aware of that and has equal respect for it immaterial of their regionalism, every citizen of India is sentimentally attached to Sanskrit due to cultural terms. As we saw Hindi became a failure in uniting every state in India, I feel, if Sanskrit is declared official language, every citizen from Himalayas to Kanyakumari will wholeheartedly welcome it.

If people have any problem in the issue of popularity of Sanskrit, I would like to tell, in 1947, even Hindi was limited till 2-3 states. It was popularized thus is spoken in maximum parts of India. Similarly, if Sanskrit is also popularized, it will also spread much faster than Hindi and will be much easier to learn since every Indian language has many words linked with it. Even till 1700s Sanskrit was common (Second) spoken language in every region of Both North and South Indians.

I think a good amount people in our country know and understand English.And the present trend is to learn English because there are lot of opportunities out side India. Seconly large amount of our studies like Medician, Law Engineering are still English oriented. Also we are in a gobal village and English is the only language that help us grow intenationally.

Encourage the learning of non-Hindi languages in Hindi areas, and encourage hybrid languages like Mumbaiya (which incorporate different vocabularies), Hinglish, Hindustani, etc to grow. Let language learning be less about rote learning and more through news, entertainment and songs, and contemporary plays/etc. Create schemes that encourage massive interexchange of students of different language states. All these will reduce increase interest in each other's languages and reduce the feeling of language being imposed from outside and let people learn each other's language.

The choice is never between Hindi and English.

Whether we believe it or not , English is the universal language , which gives those fluent in English , the option of a global career , as compared to those who cannot speak English so well.

Most schools and colleges all over India already have English as the medium of instruction. The problem is the second language ; most schools offer the regional languages as the second language. Quite a few students opt for this , with the result Hindi often becomes the third language , and hence does not get any attention.

Instead , if Hindi is compulsorily made the second language , with the regional language as the third language , then every school-going student will be reasonably proficient in Hindi.

First of all what is the purpose of a/any language? Obviously, to communicate between two or more people!

Now we understand the the need to learn the required languages.

1. To communicate with your FAMILY you need your MOTHER-TONGUE.

2. To communicate with your SOCIETY you need learn your NATIONAL LANGUAGE.

3. To communicate with the world, you need to learn INTERNATIONAL language.

So, depending upon your need and growth you need to learn. A simple VILLAGE-FOLK need not stress on learning international language. But, an outgoing modern traveler need to learn as many languages.

We need to understand one thing, the more we are open to outside world, more will be knowledge and experience and growth we will get!

EVERYBODY'S MOTHER IS GREAT TO THEM, SO IS THEIR LANGUAGE!

Till today we are feeling comfort in English and promoting English as official language rather than promoting our national language (Hindi) as official language.If all come on single platform then it is possible to break this barrier.

Any Language you keep as National language be it Hindi, Gujarati,Marati or Sanskrit anything for that matter, keep English as a link language and the third  their regional language.Indian Economy is not coming out of Hindi it is thro' English. Ask Bajaj, tata, birla etc. Of course, these personality speak their local language but prime use English.So you need English. Use regional language to communicate philosophy of India, the political theory etc.The National language to record India'S requirements.Thats it. No hi fi.

Dear Readers,

Oflate there has been lot of argumement over the Language issue. Marathi/Kannada/Tamil/Hindi/English and other languages. this was not so much until Internet invaded our way of living and thinking. - thats when English has been the solution as language-suppport for earning and making our livelihood as our work-life is more dependant on international clients /customers and business.

We must not forget that what ever said and done, English is just a medium of communication which we need to learn and speak as it is much needed in business and corporate communications. but that does not mean we should ignore or look down upon our own mother tongue. We live in a diversified country and each language has its history and importance. We should have the pride.

We should make sure the children of tomorrow learn their mother-tongue language and also the English language - English language should be a part of our language learning subject,

Let us give due respect to all the languages. I am surprised why only in India we have such problems.  Perhaps if we change our attitude a bit, everything wil be fine and if we don't politicise each and every issue, things will be smooth.

All the problems and huge expenditure incurred by the government and the inconvenience experienced by the people of this country  are due to our neglec ting the mother Sanskrit. We have  been foolishly bringing Hindi into focus.

Making Hindi official language is the result of appease North India politics.  Even The Official language Hindi, Devanagari script  is used by only 3 to 4% of the Hindi speaking people there are so many dialects in Hindi which use different scripts.  Let the Governement Put a condition that Hindi speaking people learn a non hindi based language

ONE SHOULD COMMUNICATE IN ANY LANGUAGE WITH LOVE AND AFFECTION WITHOUT HATING OTHER LANGUAGE.THIS MUST BE ACCCEPTABLE TO ALL.
