A series of blunders were committed wrt language problem after independence. Under British rule with English was official language and the regional languages flourished over vaster regions. Hindustani was sort of reasonably well known through out most of India Pak Bangla Deccan . With the introduction of Hindi as national language, formation of linguistic states and 3-language formula --- Sanskrit the real link from ancient times was killed, Bi- and Multi-lingual states (Madras Tamil and Telugu) (Bombay - Marathi, Guajarati, Kannada) Hyderabad (Telugu, Urdu, Marathi, Kannada) Orissa (Oriya and Telugu) Mysore ( Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Konakani, Tulu) were broken down and the wider area of each language is compressed . With urbanization metro cities have become multi-lingual. Even now if we revert to English as official language and one or two other (with a wider choice than one language per state) is taught to children regional languages can be saved.
