SC refuses plea to make Hindi compulsory in school

The Hindu  

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to entertain a plea to make Hindi language compulsory for school students to promote national unity. Khehar said making Hindi compulsory might open the flood gates for people speaking other languages to demand that theirs should also be made compulsory. The plea said the three-language formula provided for the study of Hindi, English and modern Indian language in Hindi-speaking States, and Hindi, English and a regional language in the non-Hindi speaking States and it was still not implemented. “In order to promote fraternity, assuring dignity of individual and unity and national integration, study of Hindi should be made compulsory for all the students of Class One to Class Eight through the country,” the plea said.
