It is not a new thing to be aggressive for the politics of Tamil Nadu about Hindi, but after Tamil Nadu, the opposition of Hindi in Maharashtra shows how language is being made weapons due to narrow political reasons. The way various political parties are spreading unrest, chaos and hatred in the country by adopting an aggressive attitude towards language, religion and caste to surround the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Central Government, it is worrying. Opposition to Hindi in Maharashtra is surprising. Hindi is moving towards becoming the third most spoken language in the world. Hindi is getting respect abroad and is becoming a victim of neglect and dispute in its own country. The acceptance of Hindi in Maharashtra and other non -Hindi speaking states is increasing because its utility is proving. Hindi has no quarrel with Marathi or any other language. Is it not strange that Hindi is being opposed in Maharashtra, whose capital is the stronghold of the Hindi film industry? The Hindi film industry has not only distinguished Mumbai, but has also benefited the people of Maharashtra. Will Raj Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray etc. also oppose the Hindi film industry? By doing this, they will work only to hit the an ax on the feet of the people of their state. It is not hidden from anyone that in the name of opposition to Hindi, the work of inciting people’s feelings is done to straighten its political owl. This is nothing else, weakening national unity and integrity and is a petty politics that causes disharmony among the people.
In the three -language formula, the Central Government wants each student to learn three languages in India, of which two original Indian languages should be included, which should include a regional language and the third should be English. This formula applies to both government and private schools and the medium of education can be any of the three languages. The National Education Policy is a selfish mentality to put the political aggression of the opposition parties on the decision of the Maharashtra government to teach Hindi and English under the triple formula of the National Education Policy. Raj Thackeray of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena first raised objections to the Trishal formula. This is the same Raj Thackeray, who has been advocating self-culture with the flag of Hindutva in his hand. It is not surprising that Uddhav Thackeray is also adding tone to Raj Thackeray. His Shiv Sena once launched a campaign to drive away South Indians from Mumbai, then came to North Indian on its target. Surprisingly, the leaders of Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party are also opposing the teaching Hindi under the Tribhasha formula and are watching the conspiracy behind it. It would have been good that these leaders, who are targeting Hindi on the pretext of protecting Marathi Asmita, say what is the reason for opposing Hindi as the third language? Only the Modi government has presented it, due to which its opposition signifies mental bankruptcy.

The selection of Hindi as the third language is perfectly suitable because one is the official official language and the most effective contact language and second, in Maharashtra, a large number of Hindi is speaking and understanding. These are the people who went to Maharashtra in connection with the business and then settled there. He has also contributed to the development of Maharashtra. Opposing Hindi while ignoring this is a kind of racism, a kind of narrow and selfish mindset. Due to communication and information revolution and rapid traffic, the situation of non-Hindi speaking states like Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra is not the same three-four decades ago. There may be less number of Hindi speakers, but the number of people who understand it and answer questions in Hindi has increased. Whether it is a resident of Tamil Nadu or Maharashtra or a non -Hindi -speaking state, if he has an internet connection in his hand, it is certain that there are not only Hindi and English languages under the control of his fingers, not only Hindi and English, hence not only Hindi, opposition to any language can now be completely successful in any corner of the world and no wall can stop it. Then Hindi is a language related to the identity and existence of India. Wherever people go elsewhere in the world, they also take their culture and language with them. If anyone wants that it does not happen, then it is not going to happen. Opposition parties of Maharashtra are opposing this, efforts are being made to stop it in Tamil Nadu, while Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu gave a different view. He has advocated education of many languages including Hindi. Naidu said that language is only a means of communication. You all know that Telugu, Kannada, Tamil and other languages are shining globally. Knowledge is different, language is different. Hindi is also necessary as Communication Language in the country.
Hindi, despite being the official language along with our mother tongue, does not get proper respect or having a destructive politics in the name of Hindi raises many questions, Hindi is also the most scientific language. According to Google, Hindi is such a language in the world in which the most content (text material) is produced. Sir Ejac Pitman has said that if there is an all -round full script in the world, then it is Devanagari. Surely, education has the most important role in Hindi for strong India-developed India and effective education. The fact is also that apart from North India, the politicians who became Prime Minister from other states of the country never opposed Hindi. PV Narasimha Rao, who became the first Prime Minister from South India, spoke Hindi fluently. Karnataka leader H.D. When Deve Gowda became PM, he gave his speech in Hindi from Red Fort. Hindi is a symbol of nationality and nation, its neglect is such a pollution, a darkness that will have to make honest efforts to sort. Because Hindi is a socio-political-geological and linguistic language connecting India. There is a need to lift up, not to suppress Hindi. It should be our priority to develop the national language Hindi, the symbol of dignity and pride of India.
Despite reaching the nectar of independence, it is irony and unfortunate. The reputation and experiment of Hindi in the world is increasing day by day, but its neglect and political opposition is a big question in the country. The result of the contaminated and narrow-supernatural thinking of politics is that the honor and honor that Hindi should get is not getting Hindi in the nation. World Hindi Day began to be celebrated in many countries of the world including India because more than 120 crore people in India and other countries speak, read and write. Most of the population of Pakistan speaks and understands Hindi. Millions of people speak and understand Hindi in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Myanmar, Afghanistan. Countries like Fiji, Surinam, Guyana, Trinidad have been settled by Hindi speakers. In spite of so much importance of Hindi from every point of view, why ignore it so much at every level in India?
