While the central government has sedulously promoted the spread of Hindi, its official status is not reflected in social importance. As with other south Asian language groups, even native speakers of Hindi, if elite, are usually facile in English. Education in English is a prerequisite for social statusâ€"hence the existence of several English medium "public" (actually private) and Christian missionary schools in India. English remains the sole language of higher education in almost every field of learning except Hindi literature itself.

Definitely Gujarati finds Hindi as his own one. Marathi and Hindi both are written in Devanagari script. So both share same script.
