Detailed Solution

Besides Hindi, there are 21 other languages recognised by our Constitution.
Indian Constitution has recognised 22 languages as Scheduled Languages under the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, including Hindi. Hindi is also the Official Language of India, mentioned under Article 343(1) of the Constitution. The other 21 languages recognised as Scheduled Languages are- Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Maithili, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu. The Languages listed under the Eighth schedule can opt for the examination conducted at the central level. These languages can also be used as the state's official language. Opting for Hindi as a National Language or Official Language sounds easy, but not all Indians speak Hindi, and neither one can be forced to learn Hindi making it almost compulsory to opt for a side language for the time being.
