Question

which among the following is the official language of the republic of India as on August 2017

Answer 1

Hindi is the official language of India.
 

Answer 2

The language problem is one of the main political problems in the republic of India. After independence the government of India decided that the official language of India will be Hindi. Hindi is a member of the family of Aryan language. But speakers of other languages, especially the Dravidian languages, saw this as a move by the government to erase their language cultures. After much struggle - political, violent and passive - the central government allowed the state governments to pick their own official languages. Now there are 22 languages which are recognized by the government of India.
