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.
