Why is the IBPS (Institute for Banking Personnel Selection) exam conducted by the central government only in Hindi or English? Won’t Kannada and other speakers be deprived of opportunities? Aam Aadmi Party Vice President Dr. Ramesh Bellankonda questioned. Regarding the neglect of non-Hindi languages in the national examination, Dr. Ramesh held a press conference at the press club of the city on Monday. If Hindi native speakers in the country can take the exam in Hindi, why do Kannadigas and other native speakers of the country not have the choice of their own language? Why is there an imperative to write exams in their mother tongue and take exams in English? He questioned. This present recruitment also includes 41 “Raj Bhasha Officers” whose job is to ensure Hindi is used in banks ‘as much as possible’ all over India. For these posts, candidates are required to have a postgraduate degree either in Hindi or in Sanskrit, and have English as a subject. Kannada and all other Indian languages are totally irrelevant, He said.
