00:00This country will have to answer this question.
00:05I can answer the question, but how can I answer the question?
00:10These are the kind of leaders who ask for an answer.
00:14This has become a bit puzzled by the government's answer.
00:17Ask in Hindi. You can't speak Hindi.
00:21Okay, ask. Come on.
00:23In the United Nations, there are six official languages and two working languages.
00:28Now, the six official languages are used for formal speeches and translations.
00:32The work is done in the two official languages, which are English and French.
00:36Similarly, in India, our foreign minister said Bharat ki Rajbhasha.
00:40Bharat has no Rajbhasha.
00:42The Constitution, Article 343, makes it very clear Hindi is an official language.
00:46The Official Languages Act of 1963 says that Hindi and English are both official languages of India.
00:53And the Gujarat High Court ruled in 2010 that Hindi is not the national language of India.
00:58And the Atmanirbar, it's very difficult.
01:04See, that is the problem. You see, you don't understand that we speak different languages.
01:11Either it can be in English or you can have it in regional languages so all of us can say it.
01:17Big names are Tripu Sultan, Krishna Narayana, Vishwa Raya.
01:33And do one small thing together.
01:36In that 15 minute speech, at least five times, mention Vishwa Raya's name five times.
01:51No, he can read Hindi very well.
01:53He can't read Urdu. He can read it by looking at the teleprompter.
01:57He can read the language written in the teleprompter in Gujarati.
02:01Most of us in the South learn Hindi as a second language.
02:05But nobody in the North is learning Malayalam or Tamil or Kannada.
