Hindi Diwas is celebrated every year on '14 September' in India. In the year 2021, 14th September is celebrated on Tuesday. In the year 2022, 14th September will be celebrated on Wednesday.
India is a huge country. Despite the diversity in religion, language and culture, Indians are living in harmony here since ancient times. After the independence of India, on 14 September 1949, the Constituent Assembly unanimously decided that the Hindi language would be the official language of India. On the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha, to show the importance of this important decision and to spread Hindi in every region, every year 14 September will be celebrated as 'Hindi Diwas' all over India since 1953.
Hindi is the most spoken language in India. It can be understood by 75 percent of the people of the country or can express their views. Hindi language is simple. It is also called the sister of Sanskrit. More and more words of many regional languages are also used in Hindi language. Words of many languages are found in Urdu, Assamese, Bala, Punjabi, Gujarati, Oriya, Rajasthani etc., due to which Hindi appears as an easy and understandable language for all Indians. Even when India was under the British, great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi had felt deeply the need of the country to have a national language of its own. Along with independence, he also emphasized on the promotion and propagation of the national language Hindi. He has said – “There is no nation without national language.” Each nation has its own national language. The civic duties like unity, harmony, brotherhood of the nation are developed through the national language. Keeping all these things in mind, the Constituent Assembly of India has given constitutional dignity to Hindi language as the official language of the country. Keeping in view the importance of this Hindi language, Hindi Day is celebrated every year.
Hindi Diwas is celebrated with great pomp. The process of celebrating this program is going on in many forms like Hindi Diwas, Hindi Week, Hindi Pakhwada etc. Especially in all the offices, undertakings, corporations, institutions subordinate to the Central Government, this day is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Big posters are put up in banks, railways, oil companies, government offices and institutions on the occasion of Hindi Diwas. In various competitions, speeches etc., great personalities are invited and prizes are given to the employees working in Hindi. To promote Hindi in all government and non-government sectors, this proud achievement is remembered by many programs till the month of September.
Hindi Diwas every year reminds us of our true identity and unites all the people of the country. Wherever we go our language, culture and values should stay with us and this serves as a reminder. Hindi Diwas inspires us for the spirit of patriotism. In today's time people prefer to learn English more than Hindi because English is spoken all over the world. English is also one of the official languages of India. The importance of Hindi Day is that it always reminds us that Hindi is our official language and it holds a lot of importance.
Hindi is the official language of independent India. Present Hindi has got this honor only after the tireless hard work of great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Kakasaheb Kalelkar. Nowadays Hindi Days are organized only for show, the ultimate purpose with which this language has been limited in the Constitution, that purpose could not be achieved at present. Therefore, Hindi Divas will prove successful in experimental form only by doing all the work in Hindi language in government and non-government offices. On this occasion, every year 14 September is celebrated as Hindi Diwas.
