when was hindi made national language of india
Languages with official status in India The Indian constitution, in 1950, declared Hindi in Devanagari script to be the official language of the union. Unless Parliament decided otherwise, the use of English for official purposes was to cease 15 years after the constitution came into effect, i.e., on 26 January 1965. The prospect of the changeover, however, led to much alarm in the non Hindi-speaking areas of India, especially Dravidian-speaking states whose languages were not related to Hindi at all. As a result, Parliament enacted the Official Languages Act, 1963,[8] [9][10][11][12][13] which provided for the continued use of English for official purposes along with Hindi, even after 1965.
Konkani language Konkani[note 4] (Kōṅkaṇī) is an Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-European family of languages and is spoken along the South western coast of India.

The first Konkani inscription is dated 1187 A.D.[10] It is a minority language in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Kerala,[11] Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu.
