In fact, India does not have a national language.
Recently, Gujarat High Court reiterated that India does not have a national language:

Why spread the non-truth?
Hindi is one of the official language of India which is spoken in some states in North India. Hindi is an alien language for kannadigas, tamilians etc. Giving undue importance to hindi while neglecting other 22 official languages causes dissatisfaction in non hindi speakers

You have the answer yourself. Hindi is being given "undue" importance which is known as in other words prejudice or bias or partiality or preferential treatment. and you have answered another question of yours. It is not the national language but one of the 22 national languages.
There is a difference between national language and official language.
Get dat first and den comment. I guess no country in the world can have 22 national languages...
Hindi is just one of the official languages...
