Oratory Style
Known for his eloquence and forceful oratory style as well as his mastery of Sanskrit, Shastri opposed the official designation of English as the national language of India. He instead preferred Hindi, the country's classical native tongue. He was also known for his abilities as a poet, and incorporated his creative efforts into a number of his more well-known speeches. He was the first Indian to speak in Hindi at the United Nations Organization, with Atal Bihari Vajpayee being second.
