Detailed Solution

The above statement is false. The Indian constitution does not grant any language status to a national language. The constitution recognises Hindi and English as official languages and 22 languages as scheduled languages. The states can use Hindi, English, or a regional language as an official language. The use of English as the official language was to be stopped after 1965, but many non-Hindi-speaking states protested, as only 40% of Indians speak Hindi as their mother tongue. In response, the Central Government agreed to keep using both Hindi and English for official purposes.Hence, Hindi is not our national language.
