Hindi is not our National language, Mr. Tharoor says. True. It’s not our national language. There’s no denial in that. But, Hindi and English are considered the OFFICIAL languages in INDIA. Thus, knowing Hindi is important, not a compulsion, but important.
There are 22 official regional languages in India. Everyone is free to practice any language they want, but, understanding Hindi and English is important. People opposing Hindi does not make any sense. Imposing Hindi on someone is wrong, but opposing the fact that Hindi is our official language is really horrid and absurd at the same time.
