"The letters of Shyam" by Pandurang Sadashiv Sane discusses the importance of having a national language for a united India. The letter emphasizes that while regional languages are essential, a common language is necessary for the nation to function cohesively. Initially, the Indian National Congress operated in English, which excluded the broader population. Mahatma Gandhi recognized this issue and advocated for Hindi as a potential national language, given its similarities with many regional languages and its capacity to unite diverse communities. The letter notes that although languages like Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam pose challenges for Hindi comprehension, Gandhi initiated efforts to promote Hindi in those regions. He became president of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan in Indore in 1917, which aimed to raise funds for Hindi promotion. This resulted in significant public participation in Hindi examinations. The letter concludes by stating that the future Hindi language will become more inclusive by absorbing words from various regional languages, making it a language for all people, thereby solidifying its status as the national language of India.
