Solution
The correct option is B 1965 According to the Constitution, the use of English for the official
purposes was to stop in 1965. However many non-Hindi speaking states
demanded that the use of English should continue. In Tamil Nadu this
movement took a militant form. The central government agreed to continue
the use of English also with Hindi for official purposes.
