Dear Shailesh,

Hi !,

To the best of my knowledge there are 15 official languages in India apart
from more than 1800 dialects.

I do not understand the question. The Constitution of India recognises
35 languages. Ethnolinguists claim there are over a hundred _languages_
in India. Dialects of these number in the thousands. What precisely is
the information you are looking for ?
