FOR
1. Hindi is spoken/ understood by a majority of the population of our
country whereas English is spoken/understood by a limited section of
educated people. So, for mass communication purposes, Hindi would be
better suited in the context of national integration.
2. Hindi has its roots in Sanskrit like most other Indian languages. Hence
learning Hindi would be easier than learning English, which is a foreign
language.

AGAINST
1. Hindi cannot function as a link language as effectively as English
because most of the educational literature especially in the fields of
science and technology is available in English only.
2. Most people in non-Hindi speaking states feel that emergence of Hindi
reduces the importance of their own language. In their view, since
English is the lingua franca of the world, its total replacement by
Hindi would cut India off from the rest of the World
