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 has strengthened national unity.


Arman : Language-based states have 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.


From above given all the three reactions Sangeeta’s reaction is best because of our policy of accomodation the unity in our nation has been strengthened. There are many other countries in this world like Sri Lanka, where the language of the majority has been promoted. In our country, there is equal status given to all the major languages that are being spoken in various parts of our country.

This policy of accommodation not only eliminated the conflicts between groups but also made the administration easier. Due to this policy of accommodation there is a larger participation in the government’s activities by people who speak various languages.
