Hinduism and the Hindi language are two different things, and they are not related.

[Manishearth]

Hindu nationalism has historically been quite related to pushing of the Hindi language, however.

(generally there always has been a push for the Hindi language from the central government as well)

Wasn't sure where to comment. So I will comment here. Which north Indian state do you think Hindi is the native language of?

[Manishearth]

That's a non sequitur. It doesn't have to be a native language for folks to push it; it can be close.

[eklavya]

Folks push it because it's Indian and understood by most. Folks resist and protest because it's not their native language and somehow worse than having English everywhere.

> Folks push it because it's Indian and understood by most.

I don't ... dispute that? You're continuing with the non sequiturs and it's really hard to tell what point you're trying to make.

("most" is also "bit more than half the population", which isn't that compelling)

> Folks resist and protest because it's not their native language and somehow worse than having English everywhere.

You have not understood the resistance. People don't think it's "somehow worse than having English everywhere". There is no analogous push for English everywhere that people are not opposing.

I am sorry. This is not in response to your particular comment. Was just trying to have a conversation.
