With the ongoing language war in our country, with the online feud between Ajay Devgn and Sudeep, it’s needless to say that things are definitely turning into a fatal one. However, of now, the popular singer Sonu Nigam has kept his own views on the same, and mentioned that there are more important things that need to get resolved in India, rather than this. Also he further added that why and how a person shouldn’t be pressured to speak in just one language.

In a recent interview, Sonu Nigam said, “First of all, I don’t think anywhere in the constitution it is written that Hindi is the national language. As far as I know – and have consulted with experts, nowhere it is written that Hindi is (the national language).” He continued, “Hindi is the most spoken language… I understand that. Having said that, are we aware that Tamil is world’s oldest language? There is a debate between Sanskrit and Tamil. People say Tamil is the oldest language in the entire world…”

He also pointed out on that there are several other issues that need to be resolved in India, saying, Abhi tumhaare baaki deshon se pange kam hain jo tum apne desh mein pange khade kar rahe ho? (Aren’t we facing enough issues with other countries that we are starting one within our own?) Why is this discussion even happening?” He added, “See other countries, and then see us dividing people as you speak Tamil, you speak Punjabi…”

He further added on that people shouldn’t be pressured to speak one particular language, saying, “Punjabis can speak in Punjabi, Tamilians can talk in Tamil and if they are comfortable with English let them talk in English. All our court judgements are given in English, what is this ‘humein Hindi bolna chahiye’”. As quoted by Koi Moi.
