oh, the politicians can insult anything, anyone for the sake of their vote bank, so isn't this question in first place is irrelevant.
to be on the practical side, lets see, if we can go ahead with implementing hindi compulsory in all schools:
o anyone would HAVE to learn their mother language. o isn't english a language of status (sadly)? so people always want to learn it. o now comes hindi (yes, it is the 3rd language), but can a child really take the burden of 3 language? i guess not.
So, at most, till class 5, a child should learn only 2 languages.
and here, 1st is the mother tongue (and has to be), and 2nd, sadly though, is english.
