Explanation:
Rather than designate any one language as the nation’s standardised tongue, it makes more sense to invest in the development of other regional languages and thus preserve India’s multiculturalism through multilinguism.
The Karnataka government, which has moved to remove all Hindi signages in the State's metro rail stations following protests, alleges that a Central Ministry notification had last year forced it to add Hindi. | Special Arrangement
There is a popular aphorism that depicts India’s linguistic diversity rather well: Kos-kos par badle paani, chaar kos par baani (The language spoken in India changes every few kilometres, just like the taste of the water). The Census of 2001 provided only a partial demonstration of this multiplicity when it said that our country has 30 languages that are spoken by more than a million people each. These 30 languages by themselves only provide a linguistic window through which we can view the 122 languages that are spoken by at least 10,000 people each. Then we have the 1,599 languages, most of them dialects, restricted to specific regions, many of them on the verge of extinction.
