First of all, I appreciate that you’ve made sure to draw this distinction between official languages of the central government and national languages.
However, English is still an official language roughly on par with Hindi as a result of indefinite extensions that were provided for in the constitution (as well as protests and uprising). For example, parliamentary legislation is authoritative in English but must also be translated into Hindi.
