(ii) The learned counsel for the petitioners expressed their total agreement on the question of ensuring. and providing predominant position to,, the Kannada language in this State, and. For each of the regional/official languages in the respective States. But their submission has, been that not withstand in the establishment of submission was that in order to achieve primacy to, Kannada, dt was not necessary to compel the children whose mother-tongue is not Kannada to study Kannada as an additional language, at the primary level itself and to study Kannada as the sole first language in high schools. They also submitted that providing of choice to linguistic minorities in each of the States, who are as much part and parcel of the Nation, as are the linguistic majority, is conducive to conserve the feeling of fraternity among the people and the unity and integrity of the Nation, for the achieving of which, India has been constituted into a Sovereign Socialist, Secular Democratic, Republic as spell out in the Preamble
"Do you not know that in eighteen languages sweet we sing your praises in manifold ways " Come, come, and give us the blessings our reign ! Rise, O rise, Mother mine!"-( ) The patriotic songs in all the languages gave the expression to the same feeling. The famous Urdu poet Iqbal praised our motherland in his most popular Urdu song thus:
" Sare jaha se achchaa Hindustan humara"- Iqbal- Poet Patriot of India by M.H. Burney(1987).(Our Bharat , the best among the countries in the World) Kannada's contribution is no less. The song ' Victory to the land of Bharat', 'Victory to the Holy mother Bharat' (Matter in vernacular omitted- Ed.) which was the song composed and sung at Ahmedabad Session Of the The Indian National Congress in 1921 in the presence of Mahatma Gandhi , inspired the Kannada speaking people during the freedom struggle -Rashtra Shakti (Kannada book of Patriotic (5)Bankimchandra Chatterjee by S.C.

The same feeling of unity prevailed throughout the freedom struggle and ultimately in when we secured independence and the greater part of India became one political entity and the. people enacted and gave themselves the Constitution the name of the Country Bharat, given in the Vishnu Purana was also incorporated in Art. 1 of the Constitution of India. Conformably to these historic factors the Preamble of the Constitution declares that we are ONE PEOPLE. The Preamble stresses about the fraternity of the people and the integrity of the Nation. Dr. B. R. Arnbedkar the Principal Architect of the Constitution, has laid great stress on the word 'fraternity' used in the Preamble. He stated thus :
"What does fraternity mean ? Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians - of Indians being one people. It is this principle which gives unity and solidarity to social life" - B. R. Arnbedkar and the Human Rights, p. 15.
(Matter in Vernacular omitted - Ed.) Padmacharan, a Kannada poet has given forceful to the feeling of fraternity among the people of this country in the famous Kannada song composed by him thus :
(Matter in Vernacular omitted - Ed.) "Despite our having hundred languages or religions, we the people of Bharat are one forever; united emotionally, we march forward."

58. When we are one people with one citizenship, any order or regulation which compels a child having its primary education in its mother tongue which is other than the official language of the State in which it resides, to Study the official language as an extra subject in addition to the prescribed general pattern of curriculum for primary schools or which compels a student joining any high school to take the official language of the State as the principal or first language giving no choice, would be inconsistent with the feeling of unity and fraternity among the people of the country and therefore can be said to be not in tune with the provisions of the Constitution which Lire meant to give effect to the objectives enshrined in the Preamble. Such Regulations, if made, by one State are counter- productive. In fact, we were told at the time of hearing that it was only after the impugned order was made the Kerala Government made a similar order making compulsory study of Malayalam by the Kannada linguistic minorities there and they have approached the Kerala High Court against that order and the operation of that order has been stayed. Such provision made by any State, in our opinion, leads to tension between the linguistic groups which is destructive of feeling of fraternity among the people speaking different languages and injurious to the integrity of the Nation. It is needless to stress that the fraternity of the people and the unity and integrity of the Nation is of paramount importance. We conclude this emotional aspect with an excerpt from the judgment of the Highest Court of the Country In the case of Pradeep Jain v. Union of' India., . It reads :
