The first mistake was enacted in the constitution by making Hindi as official Language. It is true that number of speakers in HINDI is more than any other languages. But it not spoken all over the country. Till toady Hindi is not having any influence in South, East and North eastern part of the country. Again Hindi is not definitely the richest language in India.
Only English & Sanskrit should be the national Languages of India because it not the mother tounge of any particular community in India. Then there will no question of Imposing.

Yaar chill.....Even if it is national language,is there any enforcement to talk in Hindi in your State..... You talk as if you were in USSR where they were forced to learn and speak russian Come on chill, these things hardly matter....if you make the language debate long,then it will be long And as for sanskrit,why an obsolete language.Also,there are no speakers of the language
And most Imprtantly,there are also speakers of some languages that do not have basis in sanskrit,Udru and some tribal or other languages.
We cannot afford to get into this debate.
India is a different kind of country,with no parallels.Hindi is the national language,because it has maximum speakers.But,there are north Indian speakers who dont speak it,like Punjabi and bengali and Haryanvi,Sindhi,Rajastani,Kashmiri,and Oriya,Assamese and other tribal languages.
So chill man,if your from South India,we respect your acceptance of Hindi as a national Language......
