Hindi Divas


“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”?Rita Mae Brown

Hindi Divas is celebrated on 14 September, to commemorate the adoption of Hindi written in Devanagari script as one of the two official languages of the Republic of India. To this end, several people rallied and lobbied pan-India in favor of Hindi. As such, on the 50th birthday of Beohar Rajendra Simha on 14 September 1949, the efforts came to fruition following adoption of Hindi as an official language. This decision was ratified by the Constitution of India that came into effect on 26 January 1950. Under the Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, Hindi written in Devanagari script was adopted as the official language. Hindi is spoken by 250 million people as the original language and it is the fourth language of the world.
