although all the languages can not grow and prosperous at same pace, because ultimately its the bread and butter which keep predominance over all other issues. however, we may keep it live through efforts primary begin at home and secondary by social groups and finally by system.
Indian children should learn 3 languages each (2 Indian). Actually most children living in states other than their native states do. That helps us not only in terms of languages learnt but also in brain development.

There should be very few languages exist to avoid regional conflict. Only Hindi and English should exist along with Sanskrit. Rest all are junk...

What constitutes a junk language? Why Hindi is not junk and languages like Tamil Malayalam are junk? Literary quality of regional languages are much higher compared to Hindi, only think which works for Hindi is that it is spoken in large low income northern states (where probably there is more votes).
Not meaning to demean Hindi, but it is overrated due to political reasons.
Its not a wonder that all languages will die with more thrust and importance given to English language especially in the world of jobs. Also its a shame that parents do not encourage children to learn or know native language even mother tongue as they consider it unwanted and not up to the standard of English especially required for getting jobs. And knowing and speaking English is considered stylish. Its real shame that Indian civilisation and culture who has given us such beautiful languages are becoming extinct. The only way to atleast save the state language is that all over all documents and all communication should have first the state language, then national language Hindi and only then English. And preference should be given even on jobs by all Companies for those who are knowing residing state language and those who pass Indian language in 10th and 12th as an additional subject or one Indian language should be made compulsory to be studied and passed till 10th and 12th. Else for sure Indian languages will be history especially in the fast paced digital world.

Hindi is not the National language which please note. That said, English will be buried in the days to come, what with the standard that exists today and in the future! So, one of the languages that is dying in India, which has all along kept Indians in competition globally, is ENGLISH.
Where is the Sourashtra language spoken in Madurai, Salem, Palyankottai,.......Tamilnadu??? It is dying slowly along with conversion of the sourashtrian people to Christians

May be we didn't name them as "MINORITY"languages,Then they might have got Spoken Trail Party subsidy,Desert locale Prilgrimage Subsidy,EdharRASA subsidy etc .When religion can claim benefits if they call themselves minority (really minority or not is different)why not we declare these languages as Minority languages and make mess to enjoy pelf.R..Ponnambalam
when Indians so abroad there language stays with them tens of generations, multiple languages coexist. so it seems it is the majoritarianism that kills the ability to communicate and receive.
