Should immigrants be required to learn the Indian language?
@8KJQRCTBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Yes, they should be required to learn the primary official language of the region they are settling in.
@9L4ZJHGBharatiya Janata2mos2MO
Not compulsory,but they have to learn it as they are planning to live here for long time. It will be helpful for them in future.
@9HRZR58Bharatiya Janata5mos5MO
It his highly encouraged to learn but it is not enforced or compulsory to converse in an Indian language. However if they learn the language it will be easier for them to communicate and a boost for Indian culture. The government can organize classes which interested people can go. It isn't compulsory but very encouraged.
@9H6MPZ36mos6MO
No, and this is a stupid question. There is no language that is called the Indian language. This question should instead say "any Indian Language"; and my answer would be yes; an immigrant should learn any one of the 300 odd Indian languages to integrate with the society; and yes, English happens to be one of the Indian languages.
@9D5JMSVIndian National Congress10mos10MO
No. They should atleast know English to deal with govt documents and all govt documents must also be in English.
@9CZS32RIndian National Congress10mos10MO
No, but the Indian government would provide services and instructions only in Indian languages.
@9BSQN4T1yr1Y
At some stage, so they can coordinate and connect with the locals and there must be a program that not just teaches them the language but also shows them the culture and identity of India
Should atleast know either Hindi or English
Yes but also we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country
@99J34K61yr1Y
Incentivize foreigners to learn Indian languages, but compulsion should not be the modem of doing this.
@99GQ5G91yr1Y
Yes, but they should learn a language spoken in India. There is no national language, so either English or the regional language based on the location is important, but access to learning should be provided.
Not Indian Language particularly but atleast English so that it becomes easy for communication purpose
No, there is no single ‘Indian Language,’ it depends on where in India the immigrants move to
@99CB78PIndependent1yr1Y
They should just know english
@99BZHJFIndependent1yr1Y
Yes, but only English and local language of the state or UT
I don't really care about it. If the immigrants are comfortable conversing in english they are free to do so..
@9987HWC1yr1Y
Yes, but provide free language courses, and maintain multilingual translations.
Naturally, not harassed to learn
@9884LCH1yr1Y
I think they should know any one Indian language for communication.
@97X3X862yrs2Y
immigrants are not required
@96VLBDZBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
Yes, they should know atleast one Indian language apart from English and their native language
yes, not for the jingoistic reasons but it will help them in easy and meaningful assimilation, but no strict coercion.
@95WHXRLIndependent2yrs2Y
No but maybe English and a local language where they reside
Yes. They should learn the Language of the specific State they entered for either settlement or for Employment.
@95CV7FQIndependent2yrs2Y
The immigrants should learn the particular language of the state they will be residing in and course should be provided by the government
@8XHHCSLBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
India has more than a dozen languages, which one?
@8WXYJBVIndependent3yrs3Y
All immigrants must learn AN Indian language; that could be any of India's 22 official languages, including English.
@8WLJN3BBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
lol please explain what is indian language india has more than 30 official languages and more than 1000 spoken lang and dialects and english is also an offficial language
@8W8TC3Z3yrs3Y
If they are coming into our country they should atleast know and appreciate our culture
@8W866KVBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
they should know at least one of the official languages in India.
@8W6F7BWBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
Depends on their choice. If they want to, the government should introduce provisions for that.
@8W3R6F7Independent3yrs3Y
Should not be necessary but for their own comfort and ease they should
The immigrant has to learn a language that is spoken in the particular Indian state he chooses to work in.
Example
If it is Kerala he has to learn Malayalam if it is Delhi he has to learn Hindi. The immigrant must learn the language spoken in the state.
@8VBNB9WIndependent3yrs3Y
They can settle here and learn them
As English is a universal language, it can be the medium
@8T6RZVXIndependent3yrs3Y
As long as the immigrant speaks either English or Hindi (i.e., either of the two official languages), he/she should not necessarily be required to learn any additional Indian language. However, the local and state governments should encourage them to take courses in the regional language of the state (though this should ultimately be optional).
@8T3RBFLIndependent3yrs3Y
The Indian language doesn't exist....
I think they should learn the basics of the predominant language
No, but they should be well versed in English, the official language. And basic training should be given for the language of the state they are going to reside in.
@9CS8YY910mos10MO
Just to improve their own prospects, they may learn.
@9CR5KQJIndependent10mos10MO
There’s no such thing as Indian language
@9CQYQS8Marxist Communist10mos10MO
No, not required, but the government should provide free language learning courses (and there is no "the Indian language")
@9CQWYPH10mos10MO
They should learn English.
@9CQP85610mos10MO
No, but the government should provide free language learning courses and encoure immigrants to learn the language
@9CQLCXJBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
There is no “Indian language”
@9CQHY6ZBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Yes, one of the 22 officials languages would be fine.
