As the chairman of the Parliamentary Official Language Committee, he is duty bound to promote the spread of the Hindi language. But, the impression his speech generated at the 37th meeting of the panel in New Delhi last week is that he wanted to impose the language. Calling for the use of an Indian language among people who spoke languages other than Hindi, Mr. Shah said Hindi should be accepted as an alternative to English and not to local languages. It is up to the people of any two non-Hindi speaking areas or States to decide what their language of communication should be. If they are comfortable with English, which is also a global language, the Centre has no business in advising them to <strong>abandon (leave behind) <\/strong>English and take to any other language or Hindi, as done in this case. Mr. Shah\u2019s observations <strong>presuppose (to accept or assume without question) <\/strong>the position that English is not an Indian language. What he seems to have overlooked is that English has been recognised as an Indian language as much as Tamil or Telugu or Hindi have. This recognition is also due to the Sahitya Akademi, a central institution working for literary dialogue in the country. The Akademi, under the control of the Ministry of Culture, has, among others, been giving away annual awards for the best works of English, of course authored by Indians. Besides, the advantage that English gives to India has to be kept in mind. As pointed out by the president of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, D.K. Shivakumar, Bengaluru became India\u2019s IT capital because of English. It would be <strong>befitting (Appropriate to) <\/strong>for a person holding the office of Union Home Minister to <strong>shed (Get rid of) <\/strong>any <strong>aversion (A feeling of intense dislike) <\/strong>to English, which has been a <strong>unifying (Combining into a single unit) <\/strong>force in a vast and diverse society such as India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expectedly, Mr. Shah\u2019s statement has been <strong>condemned (Express strong disapproval of) <\/strong>politically, especially by the non-BJP Opposition parties. Even the AIADMK, a party that has been friendly to the BJP, has issued a statement through its coordinator and former Chief Minister, O. Panneerselvam, who expressed his disapproval of any move to \u201cimpose Hindi.\u201d But, most significantly, it is Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin who rightly <strong>lashed out (Aggressively challenge in speech or writing)<\/strong> at Mr. Shah for seeking to create a \u201csingle identity,\u201d which, Mr. Stalin has pointed out, will not create unity. It is nobody\u2019s case that Indian languages, let alone Hindi, should not be nurtured and promoted. They all deserve the support of the state. Those in power should also follow up their words with substantive measures towards this direction. But, at the same time, no room should be given for any perception that the promotion drive will be at the cost of English. Respect for multiculturalism and a pluralistic identity is a quality that the political class, particularly those in power, should <strong>imbibe (Receive into the mind and retain)<\/strong>. Mr. Shah would do very well if he demonstrates, through words and actions, that he has that quality in abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
