Question

Why did Mahatma Gandhi give emphasis on Hindustani for the national language of India? Explain.

Answer 1

1. Mahatma Gandhi believed that Hindustani did not benefit any certain group of people.
2. Hindustani, which combines Hindi and Urdu, brought together Hindus, Muslims, and people from both the north and south. The exchange of cultures resulted in the introduction of vocabulary from other languages into Hindustani.
3. Other languages have been influenced by Hindustani, making it a multicultural language and the primary mode of communication among varied people.
