Just a thought!
We are very much sculpted into practice of celebrating Father's day, Mother’s Day,V-Day,Hug Day and even Rose Day.These are a few things which we have neither inherited not brought down from lineage. These are things which have unwarrantedly forced their ways into our lives, making relationships more like a calendar bound activity. I don’t want to propagate a view that such occasions should be altogether discarded. Just a thought as in what should/could be our priority.
Anyways,my sole intention was to put forward a view that today(September 14th) is a day which ideally should be important to all of us but unfortunately doesnt even finds space in either a newspaper column or for that matter,mindshare.September 14th is our "HINDI DIWAS".Celebration of spirit of Hindi as our National Language(not language of the state).Article 343 (1) had put down a timeline to escalate Hindi as a Language of State but it has been 58 years since that resolution.Not a regret,just a cerebral vibe.
As to show respect and maybe gratitude to what we actually inherited,let us atleast try to convince ourselves that Hindi is an epitome of our being in true spirits.Or maybe it is something which defines religion for many of us.
This entry intends to evoke a silent resolve to love and respect our heritages.Maybe those heritages which are indispensable.(Imagine your life without Hindi for a minute).Not a thing more not a thing less.
Apologies for writing this blog in ENGLISH,but then probably it aptly conveys that displaying 'respect' doesn't mean 'fanaticism'.
"हिंदी हैं हम वतन है,हिंदुस्तान हमारा"
Thats d great piece of thought !

ReplyDeleteHi Ayushi,
ReplyDeleteActually September 14 is celebrated as Hindi Day as it was adopted as the official language of Constituent assembly in 1949 on this day.However,the Constitution of India adopted Hindi in Devanagri Script as the official language of the union under Article (343) in 1950.The unfortunate thing is that even after 61 years of Independence,Hindi is neither the national language of the state nor the official one.Anyways,hope it answers your question :-)
can u please post me an article on ''hindi diwas'' in hindi?
ReplyDeleteBharatvarsh ki rajbhasha hindi hai...kya hindi rashtra bhasha bhi hai??
ReplyDeleteAaj kai log hindi ka gyan hona or hindi seekhne main matlab nahi jaante, jis tarah ek pradeshiya aadmi(some from a specific state) ko apni bhasha par garv hona chahiye usi tarah hum sabhi bharat rashtra ke nagrikon ko hindi bhasha pe garv hona chahiye.
Bahas karne wale hamesha hi ye mudda uthate rahenge ki ek loktantra desh main hindi ko hi kyun rashtra bhasha mana jaye, par jaisa ki is blog ke lekhak ne kaha ki sirf ek din ke liye aap hindi ko apne se alag rakh ke dekhiye, aap samajh jayenge ki kyun hindi ko rashtra bhasha kehna chahiye, or ye ek loktantra ka hi parinam hai ki aaj bhi kai log hindi ko apni bhasha samajhne ya apnane se inkaar karte hain, zara sochiye ki agar ye rajshahi hoti to kya yeh sambhav tha?? main yeh kabhi nahi kehta ki insaan ko apni matra-bhasha ko doosre sthan pe rakh hindi ka prayog karna chahiye par har koi itna to kar hi sakta hai ki, hindi ko apni matra bhasha jitni izzat de...aakhir bharat hamari mata hai or maa ki bhasha ko hi to matra-bhasha kehte hain.
@Mayank - That was good. Could have had used google transliteration to post it in Hindi. But in any case. Good stuff. Keep visiting.
