The nation celebrates Hindi Diwas today, 14 September. Hindi Diwas is observed with great enthusiasm to promote the Hindi language and encourage its use, especially among the younger generations.
The day calls upon people to be proud of the Hindi language and its status as one of the official languages of India. Hindi Diwas is celebrated on 14 September as the Constituent Assembly had declared Hindi as the official language of the country on this very day in 1949. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru later began observing the date as Hindi Diwas.
And if it’s Hindi Diwas, can political leaders be far behind in professing their love for the language? Many leaders took to Twitter to mark the occasion and tweeted in Hindi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter to highlight the importance of the language, adding that the “simplicity, spontaneity and sensitivity” of Hindi has always captivated people. He also thanked all those people who have been working tirelessly to enrich the language.
हिन्दी ने विश्वभर में भारत को एक विशिष्ट सम्मान दिलाया है। इसकी सरलता, सहजता और संवेदनशीलता हमेशा आकर्षित करती है। हिन्दी दिवस पर मैं उन सभी लोगों का हृदय से अभिनंदन करता हूं, जिन्होंने इसे समृद्ध और सशक्त बनाने में अपना अथक योगदान दिया है।
