FAQ :
ICAI President CA. Nihar N Jamburasia asked members to promote, interact with, and incorporate the Hindi language into their work.
He stated that Hindi is a native language and suggested its promotion to align with India's global leadership aspirations and the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' initiative, aiming for self-reliance with the mother tongue.
The President of the Society of Auditors, Mr. Prabhakaran, has strongly opposed the statement. Many ICAI members and others have also voiced their opposition on social media.
Critics argue that the President has unnecessarily stirred controversy, questioned his understanding of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' and the Indian Constitution (which doesn't designate a single national language), and viewed the promotion of a 'local' language as playing to the gallery.
Members are concerned because Hindi is not a common language in the southern parts of India, and some students feel it amounts to an imposition of Hindi, despite India having several official languages.
