Should Hindi Be Declared The Country’s National Language? | India Upfront 

LoL these Bollywood actors don't even know that the Indian National Anthem was first written in "BENGALI" not Hindi 🙄

The day Hindi become National language, it will break. It will not remain as one nation. We don't need one nation and one language

Why does India need a national language...!!!!! Unity in diversity... Many languages one country that's our Bharata 💪

Most of Europeans thinking Indian people only speak Hindi. Once a Pakistani asked me ' kya bayya aapko Hindi kyun nahi aatha'. Then I Said bro I am from Andhra Pradesh, no one in my region speak Hindi, everyone speak in Telugu why would I learn Hindi, then he said it is your national language. Then I said to him it is only official language not national language. I will learn Hindi if I need it, right now I don't need to learn it. Better make Telugu as national language 🙂. దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స.

Hindi is the national language of his imagination.

Hindi never was a national language ...

If any one of the regional languages is made compulsory apart from their mother tongue up to XII level of education for a twelve or fifteen years continuously, then we can think of a national language.

First, its not Hindi film industry. It's Hindustani film industry. We need Roman characters because thelanguage used is not Hindi. It is Hindustani (a mix of Hindi and Urdu). Words like khamoshi, tehzeeb, mazhab, dil, sanam, mehsoos, intezaar, inam, azaad, lofzo, istemaal, wadiyo, intehaan and musaafir are all used in Bollywood. It's a shame to call it Hindi film industry. Even Pakistanis can watch Bollywood films. In fact, Bollywood has a large fan-following in Pakistan because most Pakistanis can understand Bollywood.

I want to challenge Kajol to speak one sentence in pure Hindi. Or show me one interview where she completed a full sentence in Hindi.

No need hindi as a national language

Tamil is very classical language and and it has all the speciality of grammar, great literature.... LEARN TAMIL to move forward....

Declare Sanskrit as National language

👎No hindi for ever👎 if hindi is imposed and forced India will definitely break into pieces and pieces 👍 Why should we learn hindi what is the necessity of learning hindi ? Why hindiwalas are learning only hindi and not any other language are hindiwalas special class and super star citizens of INDIA, in that case let them not learn any language and remain illiterate brutes. You cannot dump hindi on SOUTH INDIA and SOUTH INDIANS for ever and ever. No national language for India

Who the hell is Ajay Devgan to decide which language should be the National language...

Hindi national language in India

Don't devide country by Imposing Hindi on non Hindi speaking Indians

Indian is not a NATION it is UNION OF NATIONS.

Where is South Bangalore MP? What stand is yours? It is high time that you need to carry the voice of your region you represent. You need to be straightforward, bold, frank, come out, show your guts and be outspoken and be candid in your opinions. You just can't hide and participate in West Bengal issues and forget and ignore core issues of regional concerns. Escapism shall not be excused. Not only opposition, even we, the public, oppose Hindi. Instead, we prefer English. Doesn't matter even if it is a foreign language. Just because BJP leaders don’t understand or they are poor in English, they can’t push Hindi. We south Indians are not comfortable in Hindi, because southern regional languages do not resemble Hindi. Imposing is totally wrong and a sin. Hindi is also a regional language, so is every other regional language. It is just that many of the north Indian languages resemble Hindi language. We can’t make one regional language a national language and ignore the rest. We need to embrace all languages equally. It is nonsense to have a national language in India. India is unique, unlike than other nations. The nation urges to leave it as it is. Who have asked for it? Leave it as it is, it is perfectly fine now. What are the BJP leaders trying to achieve? Is it that BJP leaders want to push any of their personal agenda? We have elected BJP to perform on greater agendas. We have better things to worry about. This whole initiative is unnecessary and not called for. We need not waste our precious time and energy with this stupid idea. As many of the north Indian languages, more or less, resemble Hindi language, it is easier for them to catch-up, learn and possess command over the language. For rest of all south Indians it shall be like an extra language to learn from scratch and shall struggle to have command over language. This unequal status of command over the language shall be unfair while a communication takes place between a north Indian and a south Indian. Instead, to be fair, Sanskrit can be made as a national language, so that everybody in the nation will have to learn a new neutral language with all its fairness. Already 100’s of languages are dying in the world every day. Home minister is trying to kill regional languages of India. What nonsense is he up to? Doesn’t he have any other business? He is promoting majoritarianism and damaging India's pluralism. India is unity in diversity. Seriously, it is idiotic and doesn’t this home minister have any other better business? Ask him to focus on other better matters and leave the languages as they are.

South India is better (not necessarily) because it tends to use words from Sanskrit and Sanskrit is India's national language.

Be English be the link language... Don't force hindi ... That will lead to hate on hindi and hindi speaking people of india.... Literally this will divide the people....

We in fiji islands its compulsory for hindus to take hindi in primary school

North America and South America

Everywhere in the World Counties are United because of their one Language Identity and of course Language is a parameter of Unity. We always have been fighting among each other because of Culture differences and more importantly different Languages that we speak. Todays Bharat needs only one Language to remain United or else we would again fight and get divided I am sure of that. Different Languages means different cultures, different opinion and different histories which would surely become a reason of Conflict in years to come and then fight for Independence from Bharat. Why Hindi? Well because Hindi is a direct Descendant from Sanskrit. Pure Hindi is a basic evolution of Sanskrit and that it keeps Sanskrit alive. Other languages might be also children of Sanskrit but they are difficult to be spoken and represent a culture sect. While Hindi doesn't represent a culture sect but represent the Philosophy of Bharat Varsh and is like the eldest Child of Sanskrit. Pure Hindi should surely become the National Language of Bharat because it would help to keep Bharat United for years to come and stop the unstoppable division of this country again due to so many languages and culture divisions.

King Kiccha sudeep boss

I LOVE TO LEAD FULL LIFE, WITH SOUTH RICE FOOD. IN MY TELUGU OR SOUTH STATE ITSELF, I DONT NEED CHAPPPATHI WALAS HINDI BELT. THEN Y I NEED HINDI

Arre what a world is this bantne keliye kya kya chahathe hai. Hamlog insaan hai. Bantne ke vajah se Sathya nash hojayenge.kyu Soch Nahi sakthe.

South Indians (Tamil/Telugu/Kannada/Malayalam) make Pan India movies. Ajay Devgan makes Pan Parag advertisement. By the way, he shouldn't have opted South scripts like Singham, Kaidhi, Drishyam etc.... We support Sudeep sir from Tamilnadu..🙏

Hindi was brought into existence during the Mughal Rule. South Indian languages are far more ancient. Specially Tamil which is recognised as the oldest language in the world. So I don't understand what Cancer promoter is talking about.

India should follow the European Union model to respect every member State language & culture. In India everything is politics. That's why the most deserving Candidate Kamal Haasan didn't get Dada Saheb Balke award yet. Kamal Haasan's only fault is that he is born in South India. This is prejudice.

Let us make india into 2 counties south and north. We South Indians can happily speak our languages and we can become richest country in Asia 😉🤣😎

Due to south languages English flourished as a link language in the south. Because of this people can find good paying jobs abroad and be updated with the world. Tell me who’s offering jobs in the Hindi belt? Rather the North Indians should learn south languages when they are looking for jobs in places like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Trivandrum and Goa. As simple.

நீங்கள் ஹிந்தியை திணிப்பது போல் நாங்களும் வட இந்தியாவில் சொன்னால் என்னவாகும், தமிழ், தெலுங்கு, மளையாளம், கன்னடம், இது நாங்கள் பேசும் மொழி உனக்கென்னடா பிரச்சனை

Learning hindi for a gujarati or punjabi is easier than for a malayali or tamilian. If somebody wants to speak hindi, it should be a matter of choice. The problem starts when it becomes mandatory in schools and colleges or for competitive exams. Let there be two main languages. There is no need of national language in a multilingual nation.

Hindi is also a regional language spoken by few states. It's our choice to decide what we want to talk or learn, outsiders cannot dictate us just like we cannot dictate them to speak Kannada or Telugu.

I'm kannadiga...💯 I'm learning Telugu,tamil, English.. We are not accept Hindi 💯 I'm not learning Hindi I have not interested... you are hindi waste of time.

Pakistani's also understand Hindi that's why they got to know every moment in India. Hindi is a language and it is influenced by Islamic countries and culture. Moghuls brought Hindi to India not Gandhi or modi. People know how Moghuls are cruel. They destroyed north Indian temples, architectures, libraries, culture then replaced their culture. Now north Indians following Moghuls culture. Crime is more, no women safety, all time chewing pan, jarda, Drugs what not everything.

In Maharashtra, Marathi and English are just enough for us.

Hindi is a regional language of Northern part of India, Indian government is also run by Non Hindi speaking tax payers money.

Oldest spoken language is Tamil. Can we make Tamil as national language? Yes we can if we make it mandatory for next 10 years, people will start speaking Tamil. Is it necessary? No. The fact today is none of the northern people can speak proper Tamil. Our own PM or HM can't even speak a proper one word in Tamil unlike otherwise from Tamil to Hindi. Today English is common language across globe. Let's keep English as spoken language and at the same time let every state promote their own regional language. When need be when a person moves from one state to another for various reason let he or she learn that language and to bridge the barrier, the common language English is always there to fill-in. By the way, the fact is Hindi is spoken only on UP and Delhi, rest all have their own regional language.

I can’t fathom about the stupidity of people who associate Hindi to India those who speak hindi are Indian and patriotic and those who don’t aren’t!….such great points by Kasthuri, I am not sure why is it even a debate about this.

what i oppose is when North Indians come to South India even after staying for years like a decade.. they don't make an effort to speak one word in the local language

Sudeep is right why should Hindi be national language..... its just one among all other Indian languages......

In Tamil Nadu, there is no need for Hindi, because we are well versed in English. The Pani puri sellers and others from the North must learn to speak Tamil when they come to work in Tamil Nadu. It isn't very difficult after all. Look at actresses Kushbu, Simran and many others from the North. They are so fluent in Tamil. Tamil language is taught in government schools in Malaysia, Singapore, Canada and some states of Australia, Europe and the USA. Prime Minister Modi ji has acknowledged the value of Tamil language. It is the only Indian language that has official status in 4 countries outside India. Hence our preference for Tamil over Hindi. It is definitely better for all Indians to learn English and go global rather than be Hindi -educated and restricted within India.

Pakistan lost Bangladesh just becoz it imposed Urdu on Bengali speaking people . Stop imposing anything , its not at all necessary !! Lets not waste time in dividing India . Federalism is the beauty of India . India is not communist country !!

English is universal language and it must prioritize. Without English nothing will happen

Hindi is not the national language of India from Kerala കേരള,

Someone should correct RSS. The language is Kannada NOT Kannadiga.

In Maharashtra,for many years cbse schools didn't let their students learn Marathi. Let that sink in.

Now we all forget petrol diesel price😂😂guys politicians are very much wiser than us

We have our own mother tongue language if we want a link language to communicate with other states or other countries i choice English not Hindi even in my dreams

Third language? 3 language formula implemented in North? Bollywood is not nation. North Indian learn South Indian language as 3rd language?

Hindi is just one of the 22 languages... nothing more, nothing less. Shameless BJP neither have common sense nor sense of constitution.

If Hindi is imposed south will lead towards separation. We have to be united India.

Proud malayali speaks in English for Hindi.real embarrassment to malayali Rahul easwar.

They need foreign education, weapons to defend the country, dresss, inventions, culture, eating on table, etc., As if ENGLISH is the only foreign. Tamil is an International language Singapore, Moritious, Srilanka, Malaysia etc., Make Tamil as National Language. None of the people studied in CBSE don't know Hindi, but they have certificates. Hindi speaking Percentage arrived is wrong. English is a 26 letter MAGIC, right or wrong easy to learn, speak, travel around world.....

Good pls divide north and south not able to tolerate all these pani Puris from north

South actors like Mahesh babu, Prabhas, Allu Arjun, NTR, Ram charan, chiranjeevi e.t.c will understand and speak neighbour languages like Tamil, Malayalam, kannada and even Hindi but any bollywood actor can tell even a single dialogue of any south Indian language.

Hindi is, was & will be a national language Which nation? Imagination of northies 😂😂😂

tamil, malayalam, telugu, kannada, hindi all national language one india, 5 language national language in india , i respect indian culture indian mother languages

India is probably the only country in the world where people constantly talk about North & South India as though they're two seperate countries.....

Punjab will not remain part of india if Hindi imposition take place. We will not lose our culture.

Make kannada, as National Language. Why we should learn your language, you learn our language.

In bollywood 99.999 percent language spoken is urdu , the smart guys of bollywood to maintain their identity give stress to Hindi.

Hindi Will Never be a National Language

Being a doctor, our medicine literature is thought in English only. Not in hindhi, Tamil or kannada. Prioritise your children to learn the need of language(English) for vocation with love for their mother language. Yeah hindi is out.

We are already in the middle of a tug o' war between Hindus and non-Hindus. We simply can't afford further conflicts between Hindi-speakers and non-Hindi speakers, between the north and the south. Unity in diversity is our motto. We cannot change it to 'Unity in uniformity.'

For the past 70+ years South Indians were imposed to learn HIndi. This is the reason 40% speaks Hindi now.

All Bollywood actors works under Dawood Ibrahim and all north Indians follows Moghuls policies. Hindi is a Islamic language it's not a Indian language. Moghuls won't respect women northies too. No women safety in Moghuls time and now also NCR NATIONAL CRIME REGION Delhi, Gurugram, Noida. Always people having drugs dangerous pans, no humanity. That is northies.

Hindi imposition is a curse on India. Hindi should be removed from all non-Hindi states.

Then why are you babbling in British language??? Sanskrit should be the national language of India'

English cannot be replaced by any politicians on earth an open challenge to those politicians who think they can remove English

Not applicable to TN read constitution first..for tn only Tamil and English are communication lamguage

Stop being a mouthpiece for the Central Govt. When Hindi speaking people go to live in non hindi speaking states they expect the locals to speak hindi instead of respecting them and learning the local language. Pure arrogance.

Rahul Eeshwar is just a mouthpiece of bjp. Don't know why he ended up representing Kerala

Hindi can’t never be a national language.

I always learn which will benifit to me , whether it is technology or a language . No one can't dictate us what to learn I like to learn C ,Java ,python languages instead of put my efforts on Hindi

We don't want Hindi

Rahul, You are the only decent Anchor on Times Now. The other's are simply acting holier than thou on secularism but know that this only applies to Sanatana Dharma followers. Whether it is Self Loathing Hindus, practising muslims or missionaries on the show, they are all bigoted and communal.

We will become "USSI".... United States of South India" and we will be the richest .......All north indians come to south india like Hyderabad, Banglore and chennai for jobs......Most illiterates are in north india....our taxes are being spent in north india...... Its better to divide North vs South......South will prosper

English should be the main language of communication for all

EINSTEIN STORY 💯 One day Einstein Makes the large hole in door for mother cat 😺 In few days, next to the large hole, he makes small hole for kitten 🐈 Then only he realised, large hole itself enough for both kitten and cat That small hole is Hindi That large hole is English English is enough to connect peoples in All over world🌍 assuming North India part of world

Art of "selling an idea" does not seem to be a virtue of the Hindikaris.

So by your logic Crow should be our national bird cause they are more in number than peacock....... I know hindi because i had to study it compulsorily in school....if it was a choice it would definitely be different for many of us.....we would have spent the time in learning other better prominent useful language of our choice

Then kannada must be national language. Learn kannada

First we should Dubb any movie, TV serials, sign boards, name boards in Kannada...

Boss even i know hindi ....to speak and write but i disagree hindi to be national language. English must be national language

Hindi is not our national language. Hindi is an idiot's language. The only language from India which is worth talking about is Bengali language. Starting from both the composers of National anthem and song, the first nobel Prize in Asia, the only city in the world to have six nobel prize winners, national language of Bangladesh, more than half of the singer's mother tongue in Bollywood, most spoken language in London after English, UNESCO's declaration of international mother's tongue day for Bengali, a station in UK getting a Bengali name, the only Scienctist from India to have collaborated with great Albert Einstein, there is also an elementary particle called Boson named after the Bengali Scienctist whose last name was Bose, the first and probably the last Oscar winner from India, more than half of the freedom fighter's origin, British India's main hub the list will go on and on and on. And these 2 rupees Hindi speaking public want to make their funny Hindi language a national language... Hahahah... Lol...

No. Hindi should not be imposed on the rest of the country.

Hindi illa ,works for the Cow belt and that's just fine with everybody. Neither does the N E or Western India want this. There are more important things in this country like yhe state of the economy and unemployment.

I wonder Pakistan speaks Urdu same as Hindi If we make Hindi as official language then it's same as Pakistan only South Indian languages are pure form of Sanskrit and are considered as classic languages Hindi is not a Classic language Just official languages this ends the Debate of making Hindi official language it's more Arabic and Persian than Sanskrit TQ,

Take care issue Subject as per educatioan one time more requieast and take care issue Subject as per yellow bmc office educatioan news business small requieast to massanger

LEARNING ONE MORE LANGUAGE CAN NOT BE A BURDEN FOR ANYONE.

Doctors and engineers if they study in hindi they have to work in just few states and doubt any private corporate hospital would employ them

No no no no... Hindi is but just another of Indian Languages. Period. Infact for the sake of the our country's integration our constitution has to be changed to remove Hindi as an official language. This will save a hell a lot of money, crores and crores that's being spent to push hindi at the cost other languages.

It is better to make Sankrit as National Language and should be made as mandatory..

ANY INDIAN WHO HAS TO PLAY A ROLE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL HAS TO BE WELL VERSED IN HINDI. KAMARAJ LOST THE CHANCE TO BECOME A PM BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HINDI. GANDHI WAS NO A GREAT ORATOR IN HINDI BUT HE REALIZED THAT IF HE HAS TO TALK TO INDIANS HE HAS TO SPEAK IN HINDI. THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

10:40, 'yes and we celebrated the diversity' this is what Jawaharlal Nehru said "The pathan and tamils were the two extreme examples:the others lie somewhere in between.All of them have their distinctive features,all of them have still more the distinguishing mark of India" _ The variety and Unity of India,from The Discovery of India,1946.(Unity in Diversity a motto adopted in many nations) we oppose only when imposed not against any language its freedom of choice.

Practically majority of India uses Hindi as a link language, I have noticed this outside India as well like in countries like Bhutan, Nepal. How many people can speak and understand English in India as compared to Hindi? Hindi is the most spoken and understood language around India, so practically it has to be linked language or you can say as a national language, this will only help us in our unity.

ask maharastrians, Bengalis, Odia , NE states - we understand hindi but not in favor of making it national language, never.
