The Maharashtra government decided to keep its orders to make Hindi a third language, namely Marathi and English secondary schools, despite the wholehearted support of the ruling alliance, including Shiv Sena, which reflects the vulnerability of the policy to impose language on those who do not want to.
Under the new decision, Hindi will not be mandatory, and third languages ​​in Marathi and third languages ​​in English secondary schools will be optional. These options will also be available in Hindi. The decision was a strong resistance from opposition parties and regional groups, and the State Government’s Language Advisory Committee’s appeal to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, which revoked the decision.
It is impossible to imagine that Hindi should face oppositions introduced in schools in states where the people never felt that the language was strange to them. In fact, the state hosts and nurtures the international brand ambassador of the language Bollywood. Indeed, people there felt that Hindi movies not only entertained them, but also told their stories to the world.
India is a country of diversity in all aspects of human behavior, including language. Anyone in this land except when forced is welcomed. The Founding Fathers and Mothers have realized this fact and therefore, there is a intentional attempt in the Constitution to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to realize their potential in the way that suits them best. Mick’s rights are not strongly trampled on.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has been fighting a coalition government against the latter’s attempt to use central funds as a tool to impose its will and policies on the states, including its preference for Hindi.
The decision of the Maharashtra government supports Mr. Stalin’s position. Now, this must force policy makers to open their eyes on all levels and train themselves to pay attention to the difficult realities on the ground when making decisions.
