Hindi is a lot more widespread than this.

For those from India, how common is it for people to do day to day communication in a non-local language (e.g., at shops, work, with neighbors)? Is it completely normal for one to use Hindi, for example, if they’ve to Mumbai or Bangalore and don’t know the local language? Does pretty much everyone in the country speak at least basic Hindi and/or English? My friend grew up in a US house speaking Punjabi, Hindi and Marathi, due to his parents being from different parts of India and having moved around a bit before settling in the US.

Genuine question but how does administration function? Do they just hope their local cleric knows their language or do they just use English?

Does India have a universal official language in the country, Like Mandarin in China? How did each other people from different regions communicate? Can modi give a speech that would be fully understood by all the people?

It would be nice to see more of a color gradient to see how the languages are related. Like the IE languages are shades of red, Dravidian are all shades of blue, etc.

Hindi is the third most spoken language in the world. How come this map shows it confined to small area only.
If we are registering Awadhi, Braj, bhojpuri then we should also register Kathiawadi, Kchi, malvi, khandeshi, hyderabadi, like wise for Tamil -Nellai, kumari, kongu etc.
The red region has much more diverse language dialects but are not shown here.

Shamelessly digested Angika, Bajjika and Surjapuri as „Hindi“. These are more of a dialects of Maithili than Hindi.

That’s why there is a saying that India is a continent masquerading as a country. There is no single stereotypical Indian accent. People from each state has their own accent. There is no common food across the country. Though majority of population is Hindu, every state has a different culture and traditions.

and even this is generalizing a lot, dialects considered languages in the north while whole language are treated as dialects in the south…

It’s necessary and practical for diverse countries like India, China, Singapore, US, Canada, Switzerland, etc… to have 2 official/recognized languages – 1 nationally and 1 locally. One doesn’t need to be superior to the other.
