Languages with official status in India

Theofficial languageof theRepublic of IndiaisHindiwithEnglishas an additional language for official

work;[1]

states in India can legislate their own official languages.[1]

Along with languages of Indian origin other than Hindi,

English,FrenchandPortuguesealso enjoy the official language status in some Indian states and Union territories. Neither

theConstitution of India,nor anyIndian lawdefines anynational language.[2]

States specify their own official language(s) through legislation. The section of the Constitution of India dealing

with official languages therefore includes detailed provisions[3]

which deal not just with the languages used for the official

purposes of the union,[4]

but also with the languages that are to be used for the official purposes of eachstate and union

territoryin the country,[5]

and the languages that are to be used for communication between the union and the states inter se.

During theBritish Raj,Englishwas used for most official purposes both at thefederallevel and in the variousstates.

[7]The Indian constitution adopted in 1950, envisaged the gradual phasing in ofHindi,to replace English over a

fifteen-year period, but gaveParliamentthe power to, by law, provide for the continued use of English even thereafter.[8]

Butresistanceto making Hindi the sole official language has resulted in English being retained for official uses. English

continues to be used today, in combination with Hindi (at the central level and in some states) and other languages (at the

state level).

The legal framework governing the use of languages for official purpose currently includes theConstitution,the

Official Languages Act, 1963, Official Languages (Use for Official Purpose of the Union) Rules, 1976, and various state

laws,as well asrules and regulationsmade by the central government and the states.

State level

The Indian constitution does not specify the official languages to be used by the states for the conduct of their

official functions, and leaves each state free to, through its legislature, adopt Hindi or any language used in its territory as

its official language or languages.[41]

The language need not be one of those listed in the Eighth Schedule, and several states

have adopted official languages which are not so listed. Examples includeKokborokinTripura;MizoinMizoram;Khasi

andGaroinMeghalaya;FrenchinPuducherry;andPortuguesein Goa.

Legislature and administration

The constitutional provisions in relation to use of the official language in legislation at theState levellargely

mirror those relating to the official language at the central level, with minor variations. State legislatures may conduct their

business in theirofficial language,Hindi or (for a transitional period, which the legislature can extend if it so chooses)

English, and members who cannot use any of these have the same rights to theirmother tonguewith the Speaker's

permission.[42]

The authoritative text of all laws must be in English, unless Parliament passes a law permitting a state to use

another language, and if the original text of a law is in a different language, an authoritative English translation of all laws

must be prepared.[43]

The state has the right to regulate the use of its official language inpublic administration,and in general, neither

the constitution nor any central enactment imposes any restriction on this right. However, every person submitting a

petitionfor the redress of a grievance to an officer or authority of the state government has a constitutional right to submit

it in any language used in that state, regardless of its official status.[39]

In addition, the constitution grants the central government, acting through thePresident,the power to issue certain

directives to the government of a state in relation to the use ofminority languagesfor official purposes. The President may

direct a State to officially recognise a language spoken in its territory for specified purposes and in specified regions, if its

speakers demand it and satisfy him that a substantial proportion of the State's population desire its use.[44]

Similarly, States

and local authorities are required to endeavour to provideprimary educationin the mother tongue for alllinguistic

minorities,regardless of whether or not their language is official in that State, and the President has the power to issue

directions he deems necessary to ensure that they are provided these facilities.[45]

State judiciary

States have significantly less freedom in relation to determine the language in which judicial proceedings in their

respectiveHigh Courtswill be conducted. The constitution gives the power to authorise the use of Hindi, or the state's

official language in proceedings of the High Court to theGovernor,rather than the state legislature, and requires the

Governor to obtain the consent of thePresident of India,[46]

who in these matters acts on the advice of theGovernment of

India.The Official Languages Act gives the Governor a similar power, subject to similar conditions, in relation to the

language in which the High Court's judgments will be delivered.[47]

Four states -Bihar,Uttar Pradesh,Madhya PradeshandRajasthan[48]

-have been granted the right to conduct

proceedings in their High Courts in their official language, which, for all of them, was Hindi. However, the only non-Hindi

state to seek a similar power -Tamil Nadu,which sought the right to conduct proceedings inTamilin itsHigh Court- had

its application rejected by the central government earlier, which said it was advised to do so by the Supreme Court.[49]

In

2006, the law ministry said that it would not object to Tamil Nadu state's desire to conduct Madras High Courtproceedings

inTamil.[50][51][52][53][54]

In 2010, the Chief Justice of theMadras High Courtallowed lawyers to argue cases in Tamil.[55]

Eighth Schedule to the Constitution

The Eighth Schedule to theIndian Constitutioncontains a list of 22 scheduled languages. At the time the

constitution was enacted, inclusion in this list meant that the language was entitled to representation on theOfficial

Languages Commission,[106]

and that the language would be one of the bases that would be drawn upon to enrich Hindi, the

official language of the Union.[107]The list has since, however, acquired further significance. The Government of India is

now under an obligation to take measures for the development of these languages, such that "they grow rapidly in richness

and become effective means of communicating modern knowledge."[108]

In addition, a candidate appearing in an

examination conducted for public service at a higher level is entitled to use any of these languages as the medium in which

he or she answers the paper.[109]

Via the 92nd Constitutional amendment 2003, 4 new languagesBodo,Maithili,Dogri,andSantaliwere added

to the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution.[110]

The following table lists the languages set out in the eighth schedule as of May 2007, together with the regions

where they are used:[111]
