Kindly forward it so that ~10k people's vote collect on this post itself.
Can use these facts in debates on National language
1: % age of other languages [30.62%] is more than Hindi [26.61%]
2: Top 4 languages (Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu) = 48.2%
3: Top 5 languages (# 2+ Tamil) = 53.9%
4: %age of Bengali, Marathi, Telugu & Tamil combined = 27.29%
[Imagine a Pie Chart showing Others, Hindi & these 4 combined]
In Ideal case the above votes should reflect the Census %ages but there will be changes coz of access to English education & that to internet, & many Other factors.

MACE in Ladakh opens its one-of-a-kind eye to cosmic gamma rays
MACEโs main goal is to study gamma rays with more than 20 billion eV of energy. The telescope can examine high-energy gamma rays emitted beyond the Milky Way. Other potential astrophysical targets include pulsars, blazars, and gamma-ray bursts. Scientists will also use MACE to explore one class of hypothetical dark-matter particles.
