Why is Hindi Diwas Celebrated?

We celebrated Hindi Diwas 3 days ago on September 14. It was celebrated across the country with great enthusiasm. Hindi language is the hallmark of India because it is the mother tongue of India. India is a home to different languages. However, 44% of Indians speak only Hindi with this Hindi remains the most-spoken language in the country. This is a great way to remind us that Hindi is our main language as well as our official language. Students celebrate this day in schools and colleges. On this day, Teachers deliver speech to emphasize the importance of Hindi language. It is widely spoken in other countries also like Pakistan, Nepal, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana and Suriname.

Why is Hindi Diwas Celebrated?

History has witnessed that Indians always wanted to adopt Hindi as the official language of the country. and the proposal for the same was put forward many times. Eventually, The Constituent Assembly of India adopted Hindi as the official language of the Republic of India on the 14th of September 1949. However, the Constitution of India implemented it as the official language on 26th January 1950. That is the reason why Hindi Diwas is celebrated on the 14th of September each year. It is also observed to cherish the Indian culture and honour the Hindi language.

Hindi Diwas Samaroh is organized in Delhi each year. Many people, including prominent people from the world of Hindi literature are invited to grace the event. various activities take place during this event. Schools, colleges and government offices across the country especially make it a point to celebrate this day by organizing different interesting activities.

The significance of Hindi language:

It is observed to stress upon the importance of Hindi language. However, over a period of time Hindi language has lost its significance to some extent. What is happening these days? an English spoken person is considered smarter than a Hindi spoken person. People are inclined towards English language. If someone speaks English people start giving him/her more respect whereas someone who speaks Hindi is looked down upon. Many People think that English spoken person knows everything. But that is not true, the reality is different. Even, our former Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has emphasized the importance of Hindi language. She has spoken several times to promote Hindi language.

It is good to learn other languages but at the same time we should not forget that Hindi is our mother tongue. It is true that English is an International language and is widely spoken all over the world. Over a period of time, Education standard has completely changed. Every parent wants to send their children in CBSE board or English medium school. speaking Hindi has been restricted in almost every CBSE board schools because of which children are forgetting Hindi language. What will happen in the future? The conversation will take place only in English. People will have forgotten Hindi language to a great extent.
