Other languages are recognised as the non-scheduled languages.(iv) Constitution of India provides for the use of English along with Hindi for official purposes.(v) Most of the government work in each state takes place in the official language of the concerned state.(vi Promotion of Hindi continues to be the official policy of the government of India but promotion does not mean that the central government can impose Hindi on states where people speak a different language. Thus, the framing of the language policy is the test for Indian federation. It inspires the confidence in different language speaking people that no language will be imposed on them. In a way 'Language policy' has strengthened the unity and integrity of India. Please log in or register to add a comment.
