er.. no. bengali is the second most spoken language in india after hindi. in fact if you subtract the number of speakers of languages like bhojpuri and mewari and gharwali/pahari from so called "hindi" speakers, then bengali may be the most widely spoken language in india.

Ahh Bengal, the land of East India Company and that party

In UP alone there are more Hindi speakers than Bengali.

That's interesting ! English is the "associate official language" of India, plus the main language of at least one Indian state !!
