Description

Acharya Prashant clarifies that his advocacy for Hindi is not about imposing it over other native Indian languages, but rather about using it as a representative of indigenous linguistic heritage against the dominance of English. He emphasizes that switching to English often involves abandoning a spiritual legacy and important cultural values. He argues that every Indian should take pride in their own native language, whether it be Gujarati, Tamil, Bengali, or Punjabi, and rejects the idea that Hindi should replace these languages.
