OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: A language that is used for official communication While a National language by default can become the Official language, an Official language has to be APPROVED legally to become the National language. India has NO NATIONAL LANGUAGES ONLY 23 OFFICIAL languages. sorry for bursting your bubble mr.indo-BARyan ;) India does NOT have a National Language

Part XVII of the constitution:
This part 17, defines an OFFICIAL language, NOT a national language.
http://www.astro.virginia.edu/.....t/p17.html

Article 345: This gives the State govt., power to decide its own “OFFICIAL LANGUAGE”
http://www.astro.virginia.edu/.....17345.html

Article 343: This defines Hindi in devangari script and English to be the “OFFICIAL LANGUAGES” of union govt.
http://www.astro.virginia.edu/.....17343.html

DIFFERENCE between National and Official Language:

NATIONAL LANGUAGE: Defines the people of the nation, culture, history.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE: A language that is used for official communication

While a National language by default can become the Official language, an Official language has to be APPROVED legally to become the National language.

India has NO NATIONAL LANGUAGES ONLY 23 OFFICIAL languages.

sorry for bursting your bubble mr.indo-BARyan ;)

This is why Karnataka and Andhra support a three language formula At the time of independence less than 1% of Indians could even communicate with each other : Hindi has sucessfully solved this problem. Now it is time to maintain cultural diversity. Now that the problem of people communicating with each other has been solved we can encourage regional language films etc by giving etra incentives BASED ON CHANGING NEEDS WE NEED TO REVIEW POLICIES FROM TIME TO TIME. Any Inputs ? - Sujay Regarding the national language policy , I would suggest the following changes

(a) Make all Indian languages National languages
(b) Make English the official link language
(c) Make Hindi the cultural link language and give it last preference

The only reason we need Hindi is that less educated people like
petty traders, businessmen, merchants etc also need to communicate with each other and do business and english is out of bounds for them.

BASED ON CHANGING NEEDS WE NEED TO REVIEW POLICIES FROM TIME TO

If Tamil movie is not screened, are Hindi movies screened? Not that I am for a tit-for-tat, but the logic stumbles if that is the case. I could not agree more with Tughlaq! If Hindi is a national language, so is Tamil (at least officially).
