If that is the case only pronunciation of words differences then I do not see it as an issue of heritage and culture. Even in Romania with 22 - 24 million there are dialects and some words are spoken different than in other dialects

>i am unsure but believe, perhaps wrongly, that india's language issue is that enough of the 'dialects' are actually different-enough languages w/ distinct writing systems, etc etc and used by too many as well as enough folks> There are 22 official languages (besides English) and another 1500 dialects. Each official language has its own script. The languages that are close are further apart than Spanish, Italian, Portugese, and French are to each other. The languages that are far apart are such that the speakers of one language are only aware of only 2 or 3 sentences in the other's language. English is a bridge language in the urban areas, and now must be in the Top 5 understood language, and headed towards the second place. According to the most recent census of 2001, 29 'languages' have more than a million native speakers, 60 have more than 100,000 and 122 have more than 10,000 native speakers. Most official languages have literature going back about 1000 years and some over 2000 years. en.wikipedia.org
