First of all Hindi is not a national language of India. As a matter of fact The Constitution of India does not give any language the status of national language. Although it has given recognition,status and official encouragement to Hindi and 22 other languages and today all 23 languages carry official status and Government documents can be in any of the 23 recognized official languages.
Even though if it is ever decided to declare any Indian language(not English) as an national language.Hindi could be the only choice based on the demographics. As per the 2001 census, around 42.2 crore people listed Hindi as their mother tongue, of which 25.79 crore spoke Hindi in its pure form, and another 16.41 crore in 49 mother tongues similar to Hindi. Overall, around 41.03% of the population declared Hindi or its sub-groupings as its mother tongue. As for other scheduled languages, Bengali was the most spoken mother-tongue after Hindi (with 8.11% of the country's population citing it as their mother tongue).

Hey friend here is your answer...............
Indian law states that no language will be made the national language unless and until all the constituent states of the Union of India accept it.
As per Article 343 of the Constitution of India, India's official languages shall be Standard Hindi (the dialect known as khadi boli) written in the Devanagari script, and English. So, we end up having a total of 22 official languagesguages today (excluding English). However, India does not have a national language.Other Indian languages are each spoken by around 10% or less of the population.
Hope this helps you
