Question

Here are three reactions to the language policy followed in India.Give an argument and an example to support any of these positions.
Sangeeta: The policy of accommodation have strengthened national unity.
Arman: Language based States has divided us by making everyone conscious of their language.
Harish: This policy has only helped to consolidate the dominance of English over all other languages.

Answer 1

I agree with Sangeeta's reaction. If the policy of accommodation was not followed, and states were not created on linguistic basis, there would have been further partition of India. For example, imposition of Hindi as the national language would have led the South to break away from the North and Tamil Nadu would have become an independent nation.
