The Importance of National Language.

Language as one may think as a tool or medium for communication or conversation or the way to express one’s feelings, ideas or thoughts, but it is not just that. Language is much more than that. It is a force which has a sparkling potential to build a nation. To keep the country’s progress intact and to help the underdeveloped country to grow. It’s a respect for oneself and one’s own nation. The Nation stands by the force of The Language.

History reveals that all those nations and countries which are considered to be developed today have their own national language, the very specific one, and major communication is first through that national language, not only in government but also among its citizens. For e.g. , Greece has is own importance for Greek, France for French, Russia for Russian, China for Chinese, Japan for Japanese, Germany for German, and even America for Specific American Language.

But unfortunately India doesn’t have yet her National Language. Though Hindi is widely used and is considered to be its national language, it’s not official.  We are more attracted towards English. Southern people don’t even understand Hindi, since they say that they give more respect to their mother tongue. Its definitely good, but the sad thing is they all know English very well and they have accepted it as a major language for communication. Then why not Hindi???

How can India develop until and unless we don’t respect our National Language (though not official)?

This is a nice short article, about Hindi as not our National Language.
