Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The Indian Constitution did not give the status of national language to any one language. The makers of the Constitution were cautious in promoting the usage of Hindi. Hindi was designated as the official language, along with English. The restriction on the use of English for official purposes took a dramatic turn in 1965 in non-Hindi-speaking states. The central government reacted by agreeing to keep both English and Hindi as official languages. The Government of India promotes Hindi as an official language, although it does not force it on states whose people speak a different language. In addition to Hindi, the Constitution recognises 21 additional languages as scheduled languages.
