Summary:
Hindi language was given the place of national language because of the trilingual formula being followed by every state. Sanskrit has never been a North Indian language but it has its root in Kashmir and the South. Until the usage of the English language is not minimised or completely removed, a regional language would not come up or be strengthened. If school children are being taught the regional language from the beginning, the language would get its lost sheen back. If you believe all languages are equal, you should have a ministry of Indian languages, which will simultaneously work for all languages..
