Will it be good to have a National Language in India?

It is good to continue with both the languages, as one has International influence and the other is related to the Nation. We should respect both the languages. But nowdays we are ignoring one language and giving more preference to other language. One reason is that English is necessary for every job whether it is Govt job or private job, but on the other hand Hindi is not necessary except a few cases. 

I'm of the opinion, when things are going good as it is, why invite troubles. By declaring a particular language as National language, we are stirring up Hornet's nest. Let the Nation remain in a calm state.

True sir. I stayed in many places and successfully able to interact with the people using either Hindi or English or both at times.

Then why we needto declare any language as national. Despite foreign origin, English is our national language just as Sonia Gandhi is our national leader. Although not declared national, anything used everywhere in nation is national. 

 

 

There is no need to bring Sonia Gandhi into this since there are still quite a few question marks about her ? and to compare her to our national issue is not right  since she has nothing to do with Indian languages ...

Sonia Gandhi is just an example. In fact, what we adopt become ours or Indian in spite of foreign origin. Similarly something of Indian origin if discarded is no more Indian.  Sonia gandhi is a very much Indian leader in spite of her foreign origin.  Another example: Hockey is our national game even though this is not of Indian origin.  also while mentioning Sonia, I was not serious and this was in lighter vein.

Point taken..

 

Congrats to Gulshanji for a wonderful reply which saw a U turn in a member.

Seeing another members point of view with respect to a minor point , which I have highlighted is not making a U turn, so pls don't exaggerate ...

Point well taken.

Well, we seem to have reached the saturation point for this particular topic too, so I hope you all don't mind if I lock the thread now. Thanks folks!
