Mulayam Singh Yadav a senior member of parliament of India has proposed to ban use of English in Parliament.
Well, Hindi has a lot of speakers in India but not all Indians speak Hindi. And if Hindi is enforced on them it creates a sense of insecurity in minds of Indians who don't speak Hindi. Likewise, any regional language also induces a sense of inconvenience to Hindi speakers, and they feel Hindi is being isolated.
I don't know why, but English doesn't create such sense of insecurity or inconvenience issue in minds of any Indian. English is taken as secular language and its empirically proven that only English does the job of unification in India. If English is isolated from mainstream in India no other language can earn goodwill which English has, thus they would result in insecurity, inconvenience which is just opposite of Indian ethos.
Constitution of India is written in English, English version is widely used, it is really absurd to say such a thing that English should be banned from Parliament. The member chooses his/her language and this is constitutional freedom.
If Mulayam Singh Yadav speaks in Hindi well and good, but if another member prefer English, constitutionally no one should have problem.
Putting ban on English in Parliament is unconstitutional and there is no such provision to be proposed or legislated.
