It was envisioned that Hindi would become the sole working language of the Union Government
by 1965 (per directives in Article 344 (2) and Article 351),[20] with state governments being free
to function in the language of their own choice. However, widespread resistance to the imposition of
Hindi on non-native speakers, especially in South India (such as the those in Tamil Nadu), Maharashtra,
Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, led to the passage of the Official Languages Act of 1963, which provided
for the continued use of English indefinitely for all official purposes, although the constitutional directive
for the Union Government to encourage the spread of Hindi was retained and has strongly influenced its policies.[21]
