Detailed Solution

1)      Our Constitution does not grant any language the status of the national language. The official language of India was declared to be Hindi.
2)      Only 40% of Indians speak Hindi as their first language. That's why Hindi is the official language to make a single linguistic environment.
3)      Aside from the Hindi language, the Constitution recognises twenty-one other languages as Scheduled. After independence, Hindi was not imposed on non-Hindi places. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the reason is not correct.
