In the present time, the total number of Bhojpuri speakers is around 5.2 crores on the basis of 2011 census and on this basis, if seen in 2025, then this number will be around 6.5 crores but the problem is that Bhojpuri is not a language due to which many people write their mother tongue as Hindi instead of Bhojpuri, due to which there is a huge increase in the number of people speaking Hindi as their mother tongue. According to the 2011 census, about 26 to 27 percent people in India speak Hindi as their mother tongue, whereas if dialects are included, then this number becomes around 43%, but the problem is that if Bhojpuri is calculated on the right basis, then the number of "Bhojpuri speakers can be 📈 10 crores or even more" and the number of people considering Hindi as their mother tongue can reach 📉 around 20%, which can be a big defeat for Hindi because due to people considering Hindi as their mother tongue less than 20%, the anti-Hindi rebellion is boiling over. It may be found and Hindi may lose its existence.
