The correct answer is Option (3) → Shrimati G. Durgabai
Shrimati G. Durgabai, a member from Madras, spoke a day after Dhulekar and warned that the language question was becoming a <strong>fear of domination</strong> for non-Hindi areas.
NCERT (2026-27): “5.2 The fear of domination “Mr President, the question of national language for India which was an almost agreed proposition until recently has suddenly become a highly controversial issue. Whether rightly or wrongly, the people of non-Hindi-speaking areas have been made to feel that this fight, or this attitude on behalf of the Hindi-speaking areas, is a fight for effectively preventing the natural influence of other powerful languages of India on the composite culture of this nation.” |
