"Undue Prominence To Hindi" As Official Language: MP Writes To PM Modi

"Undue Prominence To Hindi" As Official Language: MP Writes To PM Modi

Such a move, Viswam said will disproportionately affect non-Hindi speaking students who constitute a large segment in prestigious institutes such as IIT or IIM from pursuing their education.

Communist Party of India (CPI) Rajya Sabha MP from Kerala Binoy Viswam has written to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising objection against the "11th Report of the Committee of Parliament on Official Languages" saying the report gives undue prominence to Hindi in order to make it India's dominant language.

In his letter to PM Modi, Viswam said, "I write to raise my strongest objection against the '11th Report of the Committee of Parliament on Official Languages' that gives undue prominence to Hindi in order to make it India's dominant language. As a nation of multiple languages, the imposition of Hindi to the exclusion of others is deeply offensive and threatens the importance of the 21 other official languages recognised in the 8th schedule of the Constitution."

The Upper House MP claimed that the recommendations in the report echo divisive and dangerous positions that will cause irreparable damage to the 'Idea of India'. The report's central tenet of 'Hindi for Hindustan' is an outright rejection of India's diversity and recommends the imposition of Hindi in all Central government institutions ranging from educational institutions to public offices, he said.

Such a move, Viswam said will disproportionately affect non-Hindi speaking students who constitute a large segment in prestigious institutes such as IIT or IIM from pursuing their education.
