How can a State in India adopt an official language?
Subject to the provisions of articles 346 and 347, the Legislature of a State in India may adopt any one or more of the languages in use in the State or Hindi as the language or languages to be used for all or any of the official purposes of that State by passing a law. However, until the Legislature of the State provides otherwise by law, the English language shall continue to be used for those official purposes within the State for which it was being used immediately before the commencement of the Constitution.
