Italy also had an identical problem with hundreds of dialects, however they finally unified it by forcing one Italian language and building one major rail line that went from the Northern tip through to the Southern tip directly.
This forced people to get out of their own little towns and villages and move around anddiscover and appreciate different foods, dialects, customs andrituals practiced over the rest of Italy and eventually resulted in the unification of the many principalities into one nation state... Italy. This didn't happen overnight.
India's founding politicians set out on a similar pathand had hoped for the same results as Italy. It is happening but oh so slowly. Bollywood and notany politician should be credited to a large extent by Indian historians for helping take the goals of the founding politicians forward. Bollywood is also responsible for creating this new "123456786564 language" as you put it 😉
