Passports in Hindi too, announces Sushma Swaraj :

All passports will be in English and Hindi languages from now on and not just English, External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj announces in Delhi.

This is among the host of changes that the government has introduced recently.

The new norms will reduce the paperwork and documentation required for several categories of applicants. The new norms have overridden the passport Rules, 1980, which says applicants born on or after January 26, 1989 have to submit birth certificates.

Now, Sadhus and sanyasis can now mention the names of their spiritual gurus instead of biological parents, while Separated or divorced applicants will not have to mention the name of her or his spouse in the application form either.

The new passport rules will also eliminate the mandatory requirement of the birth certificate as the proof of date of birth.

Great news! We need to promote Hindi.

Too much of Language, nothing on priority:

Malaysia issues a passport within 1 hour, beats the world.
Malaysia was the first country in the world to issue biometric passports in 1998.

Hindi Promotion & Beef ban are the main priority of this BJP led Central Government

Idiotic move.

Passports are meant for people travelling to outside India not within India. Who cares about Hindi outside India?

Add Hindi to passport and remove state languages from rail tickets. Good move Hindia! Well done!

I could not have put it better

How many countries have immigration officials who know Hindi? None. Nepal does not require passport for Indians to enter Nepal.
