National language vs official language

 Many people call Hindi as the national language of India and there are no less people who call Hindi as the official language of India. There is also a third class of people who consider Hindi as neither the national language nor the state language and who say that Hindi, Bangla, Marathi, Gujarati etc. are the national languages ​​of India and the problem of the official language is not finalized yet. And currently English is the official language of India, given the usage.

Let's talk about the national language first. Before Independence, the whole of India used to call Hindi as the national language. Today, those who consider Hindi as the national language are either Hindi speakers or what other languages ​​of the old generation, in fact, what the old tradition says, is more meaningful now that the decisions of the Indian Constitution after independence The Constituent Assembly was established for and declared Hindi as the official language in the Constitution of India and not the national language. In such a situation, it is now appropriate that Hindi be called the official language or not that the national language is the official language, which is an element in the use of the state work; Hindi has been approved for the official work, the national language is the structure that the whole nation should use. Certainly, this situation has not come up in relation to Hindi, it will be difficult to say that it will ever come. In this way, if Hindi is not called as the national language, then it will be more practical, reasonable and constitutional.

Along with the national language, it is sometimes discussed that Hindi is the contact language. Now we said that the national language is the language that the state should use. Or Punjabi speakers started speaking in Hindi with their own language, that is, the use of Hindi in the whole country, in those circumstances in which they cannot use their regional language, then only Hindi can be called the national language. But that day is definitely not too close. Contact language can be defined at three levels, one is the language which is used in the correspondence of the state of Assam, which has been screwed from one state like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu to another, and the other language which can be used to communicate between the center and the states. Be the medium and the third language that the person of the region can use in his personal work from the person of another region. Contact language is commonly used for Hindi only from the first and second two points of view, which is also a third party which is indicated but was common and which is called Hindi as the contact language and is not taken care of by the honorable ones.

It was also indicated above that a lot of people say that the national language is not the same, they are all national languages ​​which are spoken in the last such as Tamil Telugu Marathi Gujarati Bangla, Bangla etc. in the days when there was a seminar in England Asked that Hindi is Hindi as national language which is not judicious, in fact all Indian languages ​​are state languages. In response to this I said that English is so poor that it has only one word National but Hindi has 2 words. National language and national language. In such a situation, if Hindi is called as the national language, then other languages ​​can be called national languages, but this was only the answer to the question, if Hindi is not called the national language, then it will be more appropriate than all the countries.

As far as the refusal of Hindi to be the official language is concerned, it belongs to a small number of people and which is not appropriate from any point of view, when Hindi is considered as the official language in the Constitution, then this name cannot be heard from it. Is or at least is appropriate at this time. Yes, if the situation changes, it can be considered in relation to the official language as well as the national language.
