To give students more opportunities, yes! If you live in Kerala and plan to study or work abroad, english and a 2nd foreign language is clearly more helpful, than being forced to learn Hindi or Marathi.
Or as I said before, if you want to work for a foreign company in India, knowing their language helps you to get the job, since that's a preferable feature to seperate from the mass. There can be many applicants that knows more than 1 Indian language, but not many more that can speak the same foreign language as a French, Spanish or German company.
It's about what gets you more opportunities for work or studies and India with a young demographic must increase the knowledge base of languages to increase the opportunities for them, which a 2nd regional language hardly can do. It's good to still offer other languages as an option, but one can't talk about globalisation, foreign companies investing in India and making India a production hub and at the same time limit your workforce to some regional languages only.
