		The reason is that development of Hindi in Delhi took an anti India turn.Instead of depending on the Mother Source-Sanskrit-and sister sources-the regional languages of India; Hindi began to absorb Urdu words to make itself acceptable to Moslem Minority.It resulted in other provinces getting alienated with Hindi.
		Hindi has lots of words-both of Sanskrit and Prakrit-in common with lots of other Indian languages.One example is BHAAT-the cooked rice.Almost every Indian language uses this world-but in hindi it is replaced with CHAAVAL.This kind of shortsightedness has wrought havoc.All Indian languages have more in common with each other than perceived.
		Hindi was imposed upon us, albeit for good reasons inorder to 'unify' this country on linguistic lines..but at the same time we also divided our states along regional linguistic lines, thus creating a contradiction!

		But unfortunately, too many critics of the Hindi belt have either failed to take into account the impact of these extrinsic developments, or else, analysed them in a highly partisan pseudo-scientific fashion.
		Whereas the masses spoke different Hindi dialects, the Muslim elites preferred to communicate in Urdu, Persian, or Arabic, while a new pro-colonial intelligentsia tried to imitate their colonial masters by speaking in the "Queen's English".
		After independence, even as Hindi was widely adopted on Doordarshan and in the Railways and other national agencies, an opportunistic coterie of English-speaking intellectuals in Delhi strenuously conspired to impede scholarly investigation in Sanskrit at Delhi's premiere universities such as JNU.
