6) On August 13, 2010, there was some conflict and discussion over a member of parliament demanding that questions put to a minister in Hindi must be answered in Hindi if the minister knows Hindi. During this discussion, not only a member of parliament from Bihar, Hukm Deo Narayan Yadav, but even the speaker of parliament Meira Kumar referred to Hindi as the national language. May be Hukm Deo Narayan Yada is ignorant that Hindi is not India's national language. Should the speaker of the parliament know a little more about what the constitution says about languages?

Final Comment

Either all these politicians and government officials are ignorant or think that if they repeat again and again "Hindi is India's national language" people would believe that. Another interesting thing is that most of the newspapers that reported these events did not mention that what these politicians and officials are saying is wrong and Hindi is not India's national language.

[NOTE: Although the Indian constitution accords the official language status to Hindi, there is opposition to it in some non-Hindi states, especially in Tamil Nadu State where Hindi is not taught in any school under state government jurisdiction.]
