Consider the two statements (A) and (B) :
Statement (A) : English continued to be used in India after Independence because administrative transactions and communications between states would be easier.
Statement (B) : English was accepted as an official language post-Independence without dispute.
Choose the correct option :

Correct option is D

The correct option is (d) (A) is true and (B) is false.
Statement (A) is true. English continued to be used in India after Independence for several reasons, including its role as a lingua franca that facilitated communication between the central government and the states, as well as its importance in education, commerce, and international relations.
Statement (B) is false. The acceptance of English as an official language post-Independence was not without dispute. There were strong debates and disagreements among Indian leaders about the role of English in the post-colonial nation. Some advocated for Hindi as the sole official language, while others supported the continuation of English as a unifying language.
The eventual decision to retain English as an official language alongside Hindi was a compromise that reflected the linguistic diversity of India and the need for a common language for administrative and technical purposes. However, the continued use of English has also been criticized as a barrier to social mobility and a vestige of colonial rule.
