Federalism

Answer
Our Constitution did not give the status of national language to any one language because being a federal country it cannot impose any one language. Hindi was identified as the official language because it was used by majority of people (40%). Besides Hindi, there are 22 other languages recognised as Scheduled Languages by the Constitution. States too have their own official languages. Much of the government work takes place in the official language of the concerned State.
