The three language education policy even if not enforcing Hindi, will end up enabling and propagating only Hindi! Since I'm from Tamilnadu, I'll restrict my views to it; but you can pick this template and apply to any state/UT of India.
Students cannot learn on their own, this would mean hiring new teachers. But Schools cannot afford to hire many teachers due to budget, that cascades to lean number of choices available for student. German/French/Japan or any such international language teachers will be highly sought after by lavish private schools which translates to high salary for them, naturally schools catering to middle class will not be able to afford them.
Thus school administration will end up hiring Hindi teachers readily available from Dhakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha. Maybe some schools present in borders towns like Vellor, Hosur, Nagapattinam will choose Telugu, Kannadam, Malayalam and so on. Baring them I can only see Hindi flourishing in future.
I'm not sure if this is correct, but I feel uneasy to know my tax money is going to be used to make people learn Hindi, while my language is not going to get any due recognition. Honestly no one wants to learn new language, unless there is need! what am I gonna do learning Bengali or Punjabi, no offence intended it's plain truth.
Let's face it 50-60% of India speaks Hindi, it is only natural it fills in as third option after Regional and English. Taking this into account my mom and dad privately arranged Hindi tuitions for me. My son studies in a CBSE school which offers Hindi as optional language. What kind of person will I be, if I prevent other children (primary from low/middle class) learning Hindi which my parents, and I consider as benefit.
There is no three language policy, if passed will act as Hindi as third language policy. Last time Hindi lost the race to be National language because of low number of speakers, next generation will see Hindi as national language.
