That depends on what you're looking for. There are 2 major differences between BA English and BA English Honours.
- The first is that BA English is a 3 year degree course, whereas BA English Honours is a 4 year course.
- The second difference is that a BA English Honours degree offers deep, specialised knowledge in literature and literary theory, while a standard BA English offers a flexible curriculum which covers multiple humanities subjects.

Yes, you can pursue BA English Honors even if you passed class 12th from a Hindi medium school. Colleges generally don't reject applications based on language background. You just need the required class 12th or entrance exam aggregate score.
