Who among the following made a plea that 'Hindi' be used as the language of Constitution-making?

R.V. Dhulekar

The correct answer is Option (2) → R.V. Dhulekar

In one of the earliest sessions of the Constituent Assembly, R. V. Dhulekar, a Congressman from the United Provinces, made an aggressive plea that Hindi be used as the language of constitution-making. When told that not everyone in the Assembly knew the language, Dhulekar retorted: “People who are present in this House to fashion a constitution for India and do not know Hindustani are not worthy to be members of this Assembly. They better leave.” As the House broke up in commotion over these remarks, Dhulekar proceeded with his speech in Hindi. On this occasion peace in the House was restored through Jawaharlal Nehru’s intervention, but the language issue continued to disrupt proceedings and agitate members over the subsequent three years. Almost three years later, on 12 September 1947, Dhulekar’s speech on the language of the nation once again sparked off a huge storm.
