Little known / forgotten things. Share which ones you know

Looking at some Tamil Map's thread, it suddenly struck me that somewhere I had overheard that when it was being decided about our National language, Tamil was one of the contenders and it lost to Hindi by only 1 vote! (in the parliament, I guess)

I tried looking for this information, but in vain. Is it true? Can someone point out to some source?

And while we are at it, let this thread be a place to discuss, clarify, share, and debate such little known / forgotten things.

Cheers,
Bandu.

There is NO such thing as a national language in India. Only official language here. Hence English and Hindi have the same status in Indian Constitution

Damn

. What an eyeopener on an early Monday morning. I did not know that. Thanks for the info.

Hindi can never replace English in India.
Infact no language can, EVER.
