I have heard from my friends in academics that there is a lot more funding for Hindi than for any other Indian language. We must also encourage knowledge creation in the local language because only then will we get more talent into the mainstream. This can also happen here if we create opportunities for people studying in Indian languages. Coming to the question of having a common Indian language, I do not think it is possible or desirable to have a single unifying Indian language.Imposing Hindi will not unify us, but having a deep respect for other languages will. Hindi is another Indian language and nothing more.
