associate official language of india

The associate official language of India is English. Hindi is the official language of the Union of India as per Article 343 of the Constitution, with Hindi in the Devanagari script designated as the official language. English was initially intended to be used only for 15 years after independence but continues to serve as the associate official language for communication, especially with non-Hindi-speaking states. This dual language status is maintained to accommodate the diverse linguistic landscape of India and facilitate communication across regions.
