14 September, every year we
celebrates this date as Hindi Diwas. On this day in 1949 the Constituent
Assembly of India had adopted Hindi written in Devnagari script as the Official
Language of the Union. Hindi Diwas is celebrated all through the India to
show the importance of Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language in
India has a long history, and it is the language spoken as a mother tongue and
known as the 5th largest language of the world.
This language is the proud of
numerous citizens. From J&K to Kerala, From Gujarat to Arunanchal it’s a thing
to have pride and honour. Majority of citizens in India especially in Himachal,
Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, U.P., M.P, Bihar, Delhi, and Rajasthan uses Hindi
language to communicate with other people. This language is termed as the most
stable language in the world because it is originated from Sanskrit and it has
the fixed and complete grammar. Whatever rules and norms were used 5000 years
ago are still used in 2014, what I mean to say the language which has a stable
and fixed grammar, is considered as the best language.
But I have something in my heart
which I want to share with you readers. Today, our country is facing a serious
situation with Hindi language. Majority of people feels shame which is seen in metropolitan
cities. When I was in college I always observed that many people use to give
priority to English than Hindi. They feel shame when they had to speak in
Hindi. Some people have made a new language “Hinglish” a combination of both
languages for their comfort which is a mixer of both, which is wrong. I am not
against English but I support Hindi too much. I feel comfortable in Hindi, I
express my views better in it so why I need to make myself a victim of a
foreign language. A language whose grammar isn’t fixed and which changes every
time.
People in our country whose
native language isn’t Hindi, speaks English or their local language. It’s good
they respect their local languages but they should not protest when government
of India tries to make Hindi as official language of the country. It makes me
sad when they protest on this issue, it’s a matter to have honour but they start
an unnecessary debate against the central government. Hindi is our pride why we
make such statements which hurts sentiments of “Hindi lovers”.
We should keep in mind if we want
to do development of our intellect, knowledge and country. We can’t do
development on the support of a foreign language; we can develop with the
support of our native language. Take example of every developed nation whether
it’s Japan, China, Russia, France, Germany etc. they developed their nation
with the help of their education and their education is based upon their native
language not on English. So if India wants to be a super power we have to start
our education, our judiciary system, our executive everything in Hindi. It will
be helpful to many people to understand science, literature etc. in their own
language.
I hope we won’t celebrate Hindi
Diwas as a day, but we celebrate it as a day of honour and pride!!
