Hindi is not given importance in my own country, English is mandatory but Hindi is Optional in my school (I'm happy because I'm poor in writing in Hindi)
I don't agree with this, We do give preference to Hindi along with English. If your school or some other didn't given the preference doesn't makes it less. It is our national language and we do learn it.
I Agree that some schools (especially private schools) are forcing the students to not to speak any language other than the English in campus. It is bad.
Yes, there can be section for Urdu because there are many countries where it is frequently used, specially Arab Countries and I can understand Urdu as well.
If you have interest in learning then you can learn any language in this world.
First of all you are unable to write in hindi, and as per the school's rule it become optional, taken hindi away from you. If it is mandatory then, Don't you think you would have learned it.
That is interesting. Getting a little off topic for just a minute, just about everybody I have met from India, (quite a few actually), have been fluent in English. Did not realize Indian people were required to learn English in school. Thanks for the culture lesson.
Yes, We do learn it as third language in our schools , First language will be mother tongue as per the state(Our states has been formed on language basis). Second language will be Hindi (National Language) And Third language will be English (International Language)
Just my two cents, If anything wrong then correct me.
