Important clarification.. Samskrtam is the very bedrock of Bharatiyata and it has always been and will continue to be pan Indian in nature. All other languages are regional. Putting Samskrtam in the same bracket as Hindi is meaningless. This whole misunderstanding has its roots in the myth of Aryan invasion theory, which was a British construct to divide and rule India.

[@indianmilitary]

People wrongly assume that since Hindi uses Devanagiri script it is closer to Sanskrit. In fact, Sanskrit does NOT have any script. In other words, it can be written in any script. Devanagiri became the official script of Sanskrit only 200 yr ago.

[@KVACarnaticMusicchannel]

@@indianmilitary True. Basically we need to know that language and script are two different things. Language comes first and later the script evolves. Samskrtam for thousands of years has been used only through the oral tradition and scripts came much later. Sharada lipi, brahmi lipi was used to write Samskrtam in North India for many centuries, whereas in the South it was Grantha lipi. Then came Nagari, Nandi nagari and other sister scripts, and finally Deva nagari. The same Deva nagari is now used to write Hindi and some other North Indian languages as well. And as you said, Samskrtam as such does not have a script of its own and it can be written in any script.

The day people from across the country realises that India is a civilization and that this civilization's language is Sanskrit, this language "war" will get solved. India always had 2 language concept. First one was your mother tongue and then the civilizational language, sanskrit. Chozhas, when they conquered SE Asia spread sanskrit language, even though they were Tamizh speaking kingdom, because they were spreading the Indian (dharmic) civilization. This simple realization will solve the language and fake Aryan-Dravidian problems.

[@thesoccergod]

Care to explain what you mean by "civilizational language" and "fake Aryan-Dravidian problems"?

[@thesoccergod]

"Always had a two language concept"? Ridiculous. Sanskrit was _hardly_ ever a _spoken_ language. Its real claim to fame is being an *ultra-refined language* with an astonishing liturgical and literary corpus. But to pretend as though it was a "second language" throughout India is simply not true. Indeed, the stranglehold that the minority of Brahmins exercised upon it and the secretive way they guarded it meant most people never even _heard_ Sanskrit in their lives let alone spoke it. The Indo-European/Dravidian _linguistic_ distinction is *very real* . There may have been a cultural mingling (whether under duress or not remains unclear), but the *languages* that make up the "Dravidian language family" are indubitably distinct from those that make up the "Indo-European language family" (or "Sanskritic language family" if you prefer). The speakers from these two families may not be different from one another (all human beings share almost all of their DNA with other human beings), but (the roots of) their languages _most definitely_ are.

[@indianmilitary]

@@thesoccergod Not true. Tamil and other Indian regional and world languages originated only after 4000 BCE or Kaliyuga. Before Kaliyuga only Sanskrit and hindu/dharmic tradition was spoken/followed not just in India but rest of the world as well. Remember, the vibrations in Sanskrit from which the "creation" emanates is called the SHABTHA BRAHMAN.. It also means, Sanskrit is not just an oral language but it is also the language of the universe. There is no beginning or end for the Sanskrit like the universe and its laws of nature. Tamil and other languages do NOT have vibrations in sync with resonances of matter. It is also the reason why we cannot replace Sanskrit mantras with any other regional language mantras in hindu temples. All the Indian languages and world languages came out of human ego in Kaliyuga. Sanskrit is the only natural language. So, 40 to 90% Sanskrit words in Indian regional languages including south Indian languages in MALAYALAM, TELUGU, KANNADA AND EVEN TAMI and world languages are not so called "loan words". But small number of Indian regional language words in world languages are loan words. So, Indian regional and world languages have 3 types of words, 1. Sanskrit words 2. Distorted Sanskrit words with Sanskrit root 3. New "mumbo jumbo" words which came out of human ego. Sanskrit can be written in any script. It does not have its own script. Devanagiri became the official script only 200 yr ago. As far as world history is concerned. Hindus were the ancestors of so called "pagans" (outside India) who followed distorted and diluted hindu/vedic tradition. No wonder, all world languages have lot of Sanskrit words (way more than any other Indian regional language words which can be called as "loan words").

[@kusumpantjoshi5352]

My mother tongue is Tamil though I was born and brought up in the Hindi belt in Allahabad. It surely is highly illogical and even weird to say that Hindi has nothing to do with Sanskrit. It is also a very hasty generalisation to say that few people in northern India eg Lucknow know the Vishnusahasranamam. My paternal grandmother was from Kaashipur and lived most of her life in Ranikhet. She knew the Vishnusahasranamam by heart and recited it every morning and evening. The same is true of the rest of my father’s side of the family and so many others we know. So it depends on who and which families you are moving with. Moreover, we should also remember that northern India was invaded and fell under the control of Muslim conquerors who were at least intermittently (if not always) oppressive for centuries. Temple deities, worship and Hindu prayer had often to go underground in northern India. This was hardly the case in most of south India. As s result, Hinduism could survive far better in south India. The preservation of Sanskrit prayers and language has nothing to do with the Sanskrit language and it’s not being linked with Hindi and it’s being linked with Tamil etc! It was the difference in the political situation in north and in south India that affected whatever changes that might have taken place!

As a South Indian I don't agree with Dushyanth's sentiments that Hindi is being "imposed" on Southern States. I'll give my reasons why but before that, let us first look at statistics from 2011 Census: Statistics according to 2011 Census on % of total population that speaks a particular language: 1. Hindi - 43.63% 2. Telugu - 6.70% 3. Tamil - 5.70% 4. Kannada - 3.61% 5. Malayalam - 2.88% Now keep the above statistics in mind. Let me come to my argument: Hindi is not being imposed. It is taught as a third language (which is also optional). The boards on roads/highways contain English, Local Language - Kannada/Tamil/Malayalam etc and Hindi. All 3 languages. The reason why Hindi is also printed on boards is for simple reason that 43.63% of India speak Hindi and travel to all parts of the Country including South India. While the people who speak Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam exclusively are in the 3-6% range (please see the statistics above). That is all the reason is. Not because Hindi should become the "National Language" (I know it is not) or that it is being "imposed". Nope. Let us assume that Tamil speaking people were 43.63% and Hindi speaking people were 5.70%. Which language would be 3rd language in all over India? It would obviously be Tamil. Which language would be printed on Board along with English and local language? It would obviously be Tamil. It would still not be considered "imposition". Another argument I always come across is why local language is not declared as an "Official Language" while Hindi is declared as "Official Language". Again, this is keeping in mind population statistics. 43.63% of India speak Hindi, so it makes sense to have Hindi forms available everywhere. If 43.63% of India spoke Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or any other non-Hindi language that local language would become the official language. Not Hindi. Anyways, the reason behind not making your local language an "Official Language" is because of the cost involved. You will have to unnecessarily print forms in multiple languages all across India, when it won't even be used by 3-4% of the population at max. It is a humungous waste of money. Your local language forms are already available in your State. So there is no need for forms to be printed in Kannada/Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam in say for example Punjab where there are hardly any speakers. This is the only reason why "Official Language" is only English and Hindi. If you truly want your local language to get recognized as Official Language, get more people to love to speak your language. If it reaches critical mass (say around 40+%), it will automatically become "Official Language". You don't have to do any "agitation" to get it done. However, if you insult Hindi speaking people they'll never learn your language. You are doing a disservice to your own local language with this boorish behavior. Have pride in your Mother Tongue. But don't disrespect someone else's Mother Tongue. Just like your Mother is dear to you, their Mother is dear to them. Lastly, stop falling for petty Regionalism. It is high time Hindus stop being divided by Language, Caste etc and unite as Hindus. Don't fall for Dravidian, Communist and other Regional/Anti National forces and ruin Sanatan Dharma. It doesn't matter what language you speak. It doesn't matter if you have to learn one more language to communicate with your fellow Hindus. Learn it. Sanatan Dharma is all about seeking/learning/exploring. Since when did we become so close minded that we have trouble learning a language that is spoken by 43% of India? Why be so insecure that your language will somehow get destroyed because you learnt Hindi? Be proud of your ability to even speak Hindi. Encourage your Hindi speaking friends to learn your local language. Teach them. So they can also take pride in becoming polyglots. But don't insult. Insulting will get you nowhere. It will only result in language supremacy which is as useless as the garbage outside my home. It will neither get you pride, prestige, respect, fame or money. Just hatred from those who don't know your language. Don't stoop to this level.

[@julianhe7348]

@@vijayapant1644 I don't know if he knows what he's talking about, but i must confess though, that he might not be as wrong as you think. Saying that Sanskrit is a direct ancestor of all Indo Aryan languages (including Hindi, Marathi and so on) is more of a simplification meant for those, who are not into linguistics and have consequently no idea about how language change works. Especially Middle Indo Aryan languages display some features which are already lost in Sanskrit. For example the distribution of "l" and "r" in Sanskrit. Where vedic merges l and r, classical Sanskrit and middle Indo Aryan show some instances of a distinct l sound in some words again. Also the treatment of the cluster KSH is often cited as example, because there are several realizations of this one in prakrit which all appear as simply ksh in Sanskrit. So to put thinks straight, it's more accurate to say that Sanskrit is the closest we could get to proto Indo Aryan, although there is some debate on that, because mittani Indo Aryan also seems to have preserved more archaic features (compare e.g. Mit.IA Priyamazda with Sanskrit Priyamedha; aika- eka; mizda- mīdha). The grammatical and lexical similarities between Sanskrit and Dravidian languages is generally attributed to extensive contact between both groups, which also takes the many Dravidian loans into account which can be found even in the earliest attested stages of Sanskrit, but which get more numerous over time.

The ignorance in this comment section is astounding. It is known that Vedic Sanskrit used to be the spoken language of the Sapta Sindhu region. Later, this Vedic Sanskrit which was a spoken language, evolved into a group of closely related languages named the "Prakrits", such as Maharashtri Prakrit, Shauraseni Prakrit, Magadhi Prakrit etc. these Prakrits evolved into languages such as Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi etc so yes, these languages are in a sense in fact derived from Sanskrit. For instance, the Hindi word for "eye" is "Aankh" which is derived from the Prakrit word "Akkhi" which is itself from the Sanskrit word "akshi". Or the word for snake is "Saanp" which comes from the Sanskrit word "sarpa". The word for "night" is "raat" which comes from the sanskrit word "raatri". There are thousands of such examples. It so happened that WHILE Vedic sanskrit was evolving into Prakrit, some Indian grammarians codified the language by writing its dictionary, listing its grammar rules etc. That is how we have knowledge about sanskrit grammar because people like Panini wrote it down. But Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam etc are not related to Sanskrit and are hence not "derived " from it but still they have plenty of words which come from Sanskrit because of the influence of Sanskrit over the Indian subcontinent. So these languages (like tamil, kannada, etc) later added sanskrit words to their vocabulary. The conclusion is that, if you say "Hindi is NOT derived from Sanskrit", I disagree with you. It absolutely IS derived from Sanskrit.

But lately, I have come to an agreement with the arguement that they want to protect an ancient language (eg Tamil) which is as old as, if not older than sanskrit. I understand this and only this arguement. So what I am saying is, I don't have a middle ground solution. Because North has lost many of it's indigenous languages like awadhi, maithili etc etc. But then communication has become way too easy. English serves that north-south connect purpose but then it's still for (due to lack of a better term) "highly educated" mass only.

It is interesting to see Mr. Sridhar negotiate this. A Tamil brahmin if ever there was one, should he praise Tamil at Sanskrit's expense or should he praise Sanskrit at Tamil's expense? He eventually chooses a "middle way" that, though mostly accurate, requires some amount of untruth in order to work effectively. 1. His claim that Tamil had a literature (the oft-cited Sangam literature) at a time when "other languages weren't even being spoken" is pure unadulterated bullshit (or gōmūtra, if you prefer). For one thing, Kannada had already separated from Tamil by that time and so had Telugu and they were both being spoken by large populations. For another, recent *_objective_* research by scholars like S. Settar and Iravatham Mahadavan (not the Tamil chauvinists who believe Tamil emerged from or before the Big Bang) has shown that Sangam literature has - 1) a sufficient amount of old Kannada (ಹಳಗನ್ನಡ) in it; 2) that it was not miraculously created some 2500-3000 years ago, but instead developed over a period of several hundred years and came to be written down between the 4th and 10th centuries AD. 2. To begin: it's *Mallēshvara* (ಮಲ್ಲೇಶ್ವರ), not "Mallēshvaram". This area in Old Bengaluru (ಹಳೆ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) gets its name from the 17th century "kāḍu mallēshvara" temple in the area. However, the arrival of thousands of Tamil Brahmins (like Mr. Sridhar) has seen its name become corrupted and an "m" added to the end of it, like the Tamils tend to do. Also - the ridiculous idea that there are 1000s of people in the Malleshwara area who can recite the "Vishṇu Sahashranāma" at will is _insular Tambram pride_ at its very worst. I don't know about Mylapore (it's very possible that it is chockful of exactly such insular Tambrams), but Malleshwara, despite being Brahmin-dominated, is *thankfully* _not_ like that. It is a *_Kannada_* area and predominantly possesses the qualities that make the Kannada people as well-liked (and taken advantage of) as they are. Like I've told "Citti" and "The Festival of Bharat" channels before: you had best use your "citta" and "vivēka" to become something more than just propaganda channels that are all froth and no milk, to coin a phrase.

@@ni3070 Nope. Let me explain. 1. Yes, there's a (fabled) village in Karnataka where everyone speaks Sanskrit apparently. Well, my friend went there and found out that, in fact, the people there are regular Kannada people who speak Kannada. (It's when the TV channels come hunting that they're forced to speak some Sanskrit for the camera.) Sure, some of them know Sanskrit (like most people who've studied it in school know some basics), but as for speaking to each other in Sanskrit in everyday conversation - *not a chance* ! Which is not surprising, given that Sanskrit was very likely _never_ a _spoken_ language. Indeed, a plausible reason it has remained more or less unchanged for so long is _because_ it was not spoken. 2. Sanskrit is *not* "everyone's" language. It was (and continues to be in many parts) guarded jealously by the Brahmins, who believed they and _only_ they were entitled to utter it. So they passed it on to other Brahmins and a most remarkable oral tradition continues to this day, a tradition made possible by such jealous guarding against "corruption". Given this, to pretend like it was everyone's language is like pretending Santa Claus is real. Yes, more people have _access_ to Sanskrit's basics nowadays, but, non-academically, it remains a language in the control of priests and the general Brahmin community. I'm not exactly blaming the priests here (they're only doing what they know and what is required for a living), but it's simply fact that Sanskrit was never everyone's language. In fact, like I said, it was nobody's (spoken) language and, instead, was the language of mantras and literature.

The idea of uniting a nation with language is not as such bad. But a diverse nation such as ours needs a different approach. Our Bharath is united despite its diversity way before 1947 is because of our profound culture of seeking the ultimate reality. This is difficult to digest because today we are in survival mode. The idea of creating states based on language itself has come from that survival mode. But, Idea of creating states is to bring development to a region. No state identity should clash with National identity. However, Politicians create propaganda for vote cashing by doing this which is also outcome of their survival mode. Even building proficiency in English is due to being in survival mode. If our economy is independent then the need to learn English will also vanish. When western business men came to our nation they learnt the local languages ( Bengali, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil) because they were in survival mode back then. Having said all this learning multiple languages is definitely a gain. But the idea of imposition will never work.

Why not create a situation in Tamilnadu where the people living in Tamilnadu have to master only one language and that language is Tamil. Don't be cowed down by anyone/anything. For the time being, do not worry about which language is to be used for such tasks as defence establishment, parliament, currency notes, supreme court, Research and Development (especially for defence, space,....etc....) which are essentially to be conducted with the cooperation of other Indian States. First let 95 % of the tasks relating to Tamilnadu start happening in Tamil. Let the common man be at ease and let him be prosperous. Do not let anyone who does not want to master Tamil in Tamilnadu be at ease neither let him be prosperous. Also, do not let anyone who wants to master any other language other than Tamil (English) be at ease (happy) or be prosperous (rich). Now I am not saying that only Tamilnadu should be the state to do so. Someone has to make a start. Other states will take a cue from Tamilnadu.

The other tasks that is those tasks such tasks as the defence establishment, parliament, currency notes, supreme court, Research and Development (especially for defence, space,....etc....) which are essentially to be conducted with cooperation of other Indian States should not be performed in any language which is not Indian and which is not impartial to all the states, hence no to English and no to Hindi (No to both English and Hindi). Well then which is that language which is Indian and which is impartial to all Indian States, yes there is one language and that language is Sanskrit. And again like Tamil, it is to be used not just eulogised. Only those people from Tamilnadu who are in any way connected with the Armed Forces or Parliamentary affairs or the Supreme Court or Currency notes or Space or Defence Research will have to master Sanskrit. Thus only a miniscule percentage of people from Tamilnadu will be forced to learn any language other than Tamil. No one is being forced to learn Sanskrit nor is any one prevented from learning Sanskrit. Hence the question of imposing any language other than Tamil on the people of Tamilnadu does not arise. All the people of Tamilnadu, "please vote for only that party which will make everything in Tamilnadu happen in Tamil".

With all due respect here is my humble factual observation . it is an accepted fact that Hindi belongs to the Indo -European language family . Persian also . Both have absorbed a significant amount of Arabic loan words . The Persian loan words that have found their way into Hindi and Urdu are by definition also of Indo- European origin . as a linguist i have observed obvious similarities between not only between Sanskrit and Ancient Greek ( and Latin ) but also similarities between Greek and South Indian languages . For example the Tamil " Pala ( many ) has a Greek equivalent ," Poly " ( many ) . The same goes for water , which is " nero " in Greek , Neer in Tamil . Nilu in Telugu and Nilu in Kannada . My humble opinion is even though no language imposition should take place , it is preferable not to indulge in " language racism "and to keep an open mind for the sake of getting along with fellow human beings . Knowledge is power and one should know as much a possible in as many subjects as humanly possible and that includes languages .

These are not so called "loan words". Why? Tamil and other Indian regional and world languages originated only after 4000 BCE or Kaliyuga. Before Kaliyuga only Sanskrit and hindu/dharmic tradition was spoken/followed not just in India but rest of the world as well. So, Indian regional and world languages have 3 types of words, 1. Sanskrit words 2. Distorted Sanskrit words with Sanskrit root 3. New "mumbo jumbo" words which came out of human ego. Sanskrit can be written in any script. It does not have its own script. Devanagiri became the official script only 200 yr ago. As far as world history is concerned. Hindus were the ancestors of so called "pagans" (outside India) who followed distorted and diluted hindu/vedic tradition. No wonder, all world languages have lot of Sanskrit words (way more than any other Indian regional language words which can be called as "loan words").

@@indianmilitary Thank you for your kind response . It does nor really matter what vocabulary is used to designate language groups . Both Hindi and other North Indian languages share the same language group as Persian , Kurdish , Armenian ect , you can call it what you want . Hebrew , Aramaic , Amharic , Arabic , Tigrinya and Orominya ( Ethiopia/ Eritrea } are members of the broader Semitic language family . The case of India is different . Regarding loan words i just said that Hindi and Persian contain many Arabic loan words . South Indian languages are infused with Sanskrit and that is perfectly fine , however that does not prevent them from belonging to a distinct language group .

I agree. Instead of hindi if the whole nation was to learn Samaskritam the response will be more positive. Since it doesn't favour one sector of the country. Samaskritam is the only truly pan Indian language. It is also a classical language with historical relevency.

Language conflict in India is an artificially created propaganda of the west which stayed even after they left. Sanskrit originally never was a language which used to be "written". Over the course of thousands of years, different *vocal* languages which were *only a locally evolved dialects of spoken-Sanskrit* emerged, like Tamil, Telgu etc. It was much later when people needed to develop a script to write what they speak. Eventually, the north of India developed Devnagri, which *looks* very different from that of any language in South, though has the same origin i.e. Sanskrit. This language controversy has to stop.

[@thesoccergod]

Utter falsehood. The "Dravidian" languages are *not* "dialects" of Sanskrit. They form a distinct linguistic family whose roots are wholly different. They _borrowed_ vocabulary from the various Prakrits and Sanskrit (each Dravidian language to a different extent), but their roots lie elsewhere. To pretend otherwise is to tell a blatant lie.

tango20l0 Yes. Sanskrit does NOT have any script. Devanagiri script became its official script only 200 yr ago. Sanskrit can be written in any script. There are 3 types of words in a language (both Indian regional and world languages) 1. Sanskrit words 2. Distorted Sanskrit words with Sanskrit root and 3 Completely new mumbo jumbo words which came out of human ego. Malayalam has 90% Sanskrit words. It is foolish to say they borrowed 90% Sanskrit words. Tamil and other Indian regional and world languages originated only after 4000 BCE or Kaliyuga. Before Kaliyuga only Sanskrit and hindu/dharmic tradition was spoken/followed not just in India but rest of the world as well. Remember, the vibrations in Sanskrit from which the "creation" emanates is called the SHABTHA BRAHMAN.. It also means, Sanskrit is not just an oral language but it is also the language of the universe. There is no beginning or end for the Sanskrit like the universe and its laws of nature. Tamil and other languages do NOT have vibrations in sync with resonances of matter. It is also the reason why we cannot replace Sanskrit mantras with any other regional language mantras in hindu temples. All Indian regional and world languages came out of human ego in Kaliyuga. Sanskrit is the only natural language.

[@tango2olo]

@@indianmilitary Right... *Sanskrit is ALL and ONLY about sound,* unlike any other "evolved" language like Tamil, Malyalam, Suddha Hindi, etc. Mantras are only in Sanskrit because of the reason which these Kaliyugi, ego-centric duffers can never understand. Sanskrit is the language of the gods. In Kaliyuga, it is an art which only the blessed can master.. (i.e. none). That is called Mantra Siddhi. Not everyone can reap the benefits of a mantra evenif he has read it somewhere.

Sanskrt pronunciations have to be proper, otherwise the meaning gets changed and may lead to other side effects, this is the problem in present era where people are not having access to proper instructors, this era is also called Kaliyuga. That's why Agatsya Rishi introduced Tamil especially for people of Dakshin Bharat- the same is referred to in Srimad Bhagwat. . Tamil language is liberal with pronunciation errors, the pronunciation errors are not bothered about in there. that's why there's hardly /b/ sound in Tamil, people call Bal as pal in there and this incorrect pronunciations is still accepted there. Sanskrt is the mother of all languages including Tamil& Hindi. Similarly Hindi and other languages came into existence to circumvent bad effects of inaccurate pronunciations in the process of usage of Sanskrt. Sanskrt Gurus say inaccurate Sanskrt pronunciations of Vedas attracts sin equal to Gow Hatya.

[@theathiestcrusader]

I have to correct you, Dushyant sir. Hindi IS derived from Sanskrit. Its just plain obvious. Even Hindustani has its roots in Sanskrit. But people in India use Hindustani and treat Hindi and Urdu as the same language. This is why words such as Taza, Akhbar, Khabar, tehzeeb, mazhab, qayamat, intehaan, zamanat, ilzaam, kanoon, junoon, ishq, izaat, hamoshi, insaaniyat and others which are NOT derived from Sanskrit, have a high percentage in Hindi. Bollywood, which is known as Hindi cinema, to people mixes Sanskrit, Arabic and Persian all the time to create a concussion of Hindustani (Hindi - Urdu). One of the Bollywood films, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani, is an example. Ajab and Ghazab are Urdu while Prem and Kahaani are Hindi. If you've watched movies such as Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Kedaarnath and Chhichore, you will notice high concentration of Persian and Arabic words. The song "Khairiyat Pucho" from Chichorre is a great example of this. Even though the film has no Muslim characters, a song which has a word, derived from Persian and Arabic, that usually Muslims would use in front of each other is present in that song as the title. Too many Urdu are used in everyday vocabulary. Even the famous TV shows on so-called "Hindi television" such as Aap Ki Adalat and Aaj ki Taaza Khabar bear this out. How do you think Bollywood is popular in Pakistan? This is because Bollywood uses a lot of Urdu words to grab the attention of their viewers in that country. But Pakistani TV shows and serials are not popular in India because the viewers cannot understand what the characters on the show are saying since it is in pure Urdu. A person from India who knows only Hindi can't get around the streets of Karachi and Lahore easily and the same is with a Pakistani who knows only Urdu wishes to see places like Delhi and other cities in North India. So you can see where I am going with this. Hindustani is treated as one language even though the pure versions of Hindi and Urdu cannot be used interchangeably.

[@Sidtube10]

Well said. One point though, to say that Hindi has nothing to do with Sanskritam is blatantly wrong.

Vasanth Kumar If you go by popualtion Hindi isn't spoken by majority, 41.03%. All other language speakers are in majority, i.e. nearly 60%. In matters like Language, majority is a bad statistic to follow & is a sensistive matter. It may break a country even (as you must have observed in our South Asian neighbourhood). While in service in New Delhi, my maid-servant (from Uttarakhand) sought a help from me. She asked me to intervene in her son's choice to pursue studies in English medium, but was forced to Hindi section. I talked to the officials in education department & got her wish fulfilled. She was thankful, but when I asked her why she wanted this, she said all rich Hindi-speaking families put their children in English medium sections and children not-rich(less fortunate & less endowed people) can't compete with them for good jobs, leaving Hindi-speakers in (only) lower jobs. That is a fact. It is hypocricy. It is a family choice that can't be forced. All Hindi zealot "Desh nayaks" send their kids to convent schools (I know). Other misconception is that all Southerners proficient in English had their schooling in English medium. Its far from true. Most eminent Southerners (who can speak on par with the British like "silver tongued" Right honourable Srinivasa Satry) had their entire school education in their native language (ncluding the likes of me, though I am not eminent). It isn't language(or medium) that is to blame but one's capacity to learn a language that counts. English is a choice of history for India. It could've been Portuguese, French or even Chinese. We inherited a language that is global Lingua Franca, in which all scholars & the scholarship were available here, for us to move on par with Americans for instance (in my days spent there, my language ability brought me respect) though that country too, like India was ruled by the British (exchanging administrators & generals between America & India). India made that language her own, sharing it with the most countries. If we shut that off for narrow, parochial reasons we will be losing a big treasure that the country needs. As a country will be language-blind then. Meanwhile India can develop (efforts must be made) at least ten Indian languages to international level of sophistication suitable for Science & Technology.
