Concerns associated over three language formula

Though TLF provides scope for mother tongue language education, the emphasis is lost due to varied implementation.
Amidst asserting political rights of dominant ethnic groups, this policy fails to protect various mother tongues from becoming extinct.
Students have to face increased burden of subjects because of the three language formula.
In some areas, students are forced to learn Sanskrit.
The draft policy’s push for Hindi seems to be based on the premise that 54% of Indians speak Hindi.
But according to the 2001 Census, 52 crore out of 121 crore people identified Hindi as their language.
About 32 crore people declared Hindi as their mother tongue.
This means that Hindi is the language of less than 44% Indians and mother tongue of only little over 25% people in India.
But there has been greater push for making Hindi a pan-India language, which is seen as imposition of Hindi by many states, especially that of the South.
The states like Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Tripura were not ready to teach Hindi and Hindi-speaking states did not include any south Indian language in their school curriculum.
State governments often do not have adequate resources to implement the three –language formula.
The inadequacy of resources is perhaps the most important aspect of the challenge. For resource strapped state governments, it will be an extraordinarily difficult task to invest in so many language teachers in a short span of time.
