Under the Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, Hindi written in Devanagari script was adopted as the official language. In all, there are 22 Scheduled languages of India, of which, two are officially used at Union government of India level: Hindi and English.
Significance of Hindi Diwas :
It was a moment of pride for the Indians when the Constituent Assembly of India adopted Hindi as the official language of the country. The Constitution approved the same and Hindi written in Devanagari script became the official language.
On 14th September, the Constituent Assembly of India adopted Hindi as its official language on that day, which is now celebrated as Hindi Diwas each year. Many schools, colleges and offices celebrate this day with great enthusiasm.
These places are decked up for the celebration and people come dressed in Indian ethnic wear. Many people come forward to talk about the importance of Hindi language and Indian culture. Schools host Hindi debate, poetry and story-telling competitions and cultural programs.
It is a day to stress upon the importance of Hindi language which is losing its significance in the country where English speaking population is considered smarter.
It is sad to see how during job interviews, people who speak English are given preference over the others. It clearly shows that employers mistake a person’s English language skills for their knowledge about the task at hand. It is time to overcome this biased attitude.
Hindi Diwas is a great step to emphasize the importance of our national language as well as our culture. It is celebrated to rejoice the day Hindi became the official language of our country.
The day is also observed each year to stress upon the importance of Hindi and promote it amid the generation which is way too impressed with English.
It is a way of reminding the youth about their roots. No matter where we reach and what we do, if we remain grounded and in-sync with our roots, we stay unshakable.
Each year, the day reminds us of our true identity and unites us with the people of our country. No matter, wherever we go our language, culture and values must stay intact and the day serves as a reminder for the same. Hindi Diwas is one such day that instills us with patriotic feeling.
