‘If Any Language Can Unite the Country, It’s Hindi’: Amit Shah
Hindi, being the most spoken language in India, has been oft-touted as the lingua franca for its ‘unifying’ value.
Home Minister Amit Shah, in a 2019 tweet, which had met with immense backlash, had stated that Hindi language should become part of the Indian identity.
“India is a country of different languages and every language has its own importance but it is very important to have a language which should become the identity of India in the world. If one language can unite the country today, it is the widely-spoken Hindi language,” Amit Shah had tweeted on 14 September 2019.
Many residing in the southern Indian states had taken offence to Shah’s statement that was seen as an imposition of Hindi language – the language without which, it seemed to have been posited, the Indian identity would be rendered incomplete.
As protests over the statement erupted, DMK Chief MK Stalin had said “It’s shocking. It will surely affect India’s unity. I would urge him (Amit Shah) to take back that view of his,” Times of India had reported.
As the acrimony escalated, Shah had issued a clarification on his previous statement.
