“Made weak by time and fate,

but strong in will

To strive, to seek,

to find, and

not to yield.”

-Alfred Lord Tennyson

India is a secular state that focuses on regional, linguistic and personal differences - to impose the use of Hindi majorly.

In India a total of 22 languages are spoken and that have been given the grade of national languages, including 1599 other dialects. 

In 1950 Indian constitution has adopted proposed a gradual phasing out of English or legislating English to the status of a "subsidiary official language" over a period of 15 years.

Although according to the Official Languages Act, 1963  proposed the Indian parliament had the power to provide for the continued use of English even thereafter.

So, clearly, the phasing out of English never happened and even today the Hindi vs English is still a debatable issue in India.
