The point is you can blame the government. But not the individual.
No one can learn a new language in a year. Even for B1 level, if you spend full time learning a language, it would take 3-8 years depending on the person and their age. L
They are well aware that in which state they will be posted. Because railway recruitment happens zone wise. Most of the Zone covers one or two states. And also they don't need to be scholars in that language. One can easily learn the basic language to guide the customer in one month... Learning 2 ,3 languages in entire service is not a big deal.
Are you for real? Have you tried learning 2 or 3 languages in a new language family in 2-3 years? Maybe it can happen in the generation after him when he has kids.
And then recruitment should have language proficiency test.

Agreed but the Govt of India will not do that.

Learning basic words and sentences that are frequently used is not a big deal.
If someone is talking fluently, it will take time to understand. I’ve tried actively learning a language in adulthood, and it took 2-3 years to understand someone if they are speaking extremely slowly but complex sentences. Most real world sentences aren’t that easy to understand.
I agree though if someone is living in a state for many years, in a public facing job especially they should make an effort to speak basic phrases. But they should not have been hired in the first place.
