"The policy of accommodation has strengthened national unity." as said by Sangeeta seems very genuine reason behind the language policy of India. The creation of linguistic states in India, has allowed people who share a common language to live together in the same state. This linguistic unity fosters a sense of belonging and national identity, ultimately contributing to India’s overall unity. For example, different states with different languages never feel that their language is not given importance and respect. Instead policy of accommodation inspires them to stay united as a country.
