Union Minister Amit Shah on Friday, August 4, said that the official language must be eventually accepted without any kind of opposition, even if the pace is slow. He also added that the acceptance of the official language does not come from law or circulars, instead from goodwill, inspiration and encouragement. He was addressing the 38th meeting of the Committee of Parliament on Official Language. It is to be noted that Hindi is listed as one of the official languages in the Indian Constitution along with English.
