Here are three reactions to the language policy followed in India. Which of the following holds true in the case of India?
(a) The policy of accommodation has strengthened national unity.
(b) Language based states have divided us by making everyone conscious of their language.
(c) The language policy has only helped to consolidate the dominance of English over all other languages.
Answers
option A
explanation
I agree with Sangeeta's reaction. If the policy of accommodation was not followed, and states were not created on linguistic basis, there would have been further partition of India. For example, imposition of Hindi as the national language would have led the South to break away from the North and Tamil Nadu would have become an independent nation.
Answer:
(a) The policy of accommodation has strengthened national unity.
Explanation:
The policy of accommodation has strengthened public concinnity. The Arman Language-grounded States have divided us by making everyone conscious of their language. Harish This policy has only helped to consolidate the dominance of English over all other languages.
Unlike Sri Lanka( where the language of maturity has been promoted), the Indian polity has given equivalency of status to all the major languages spoken in the country. This has led to the avoidance of social conflict on a verbal base. The policy of accommodation has made the administration of States easier. It has also assured larger participation in the government’s conditioning by people who speak colorful languages.
