| Hindi is our National Language and we all should be proud of it. September 14th every year is celebrated as a mark of acknowledgement of the Indian official language. Hindi adopts the true spirit of Indians in terms of tolerance. Hindi is also called as a 'link language', which connects the united India. It's spoken by almost 500 million people over the world, the third most spoken language. It's the official language of India, the country with the second largest population in the world. As defined in the Constitution of India, Hindi is one of the two official languages of communication (English being the other) for India's federal government. Figures prove the rise in viewer ship rating for Indian Television Industry in Hindi channels is gaining a rise not only in India but also in USA, UK, Australia, Europe, Middle East, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, etc.
The Role played by Bollywood, the Mumbai-based film industry, in promoting, popularizing and projecting the language globally is praise worthy. Bollywood has played a vital role in the growth of Hindi among the people of Indian origin, particularly among the younger generation and in maintaining and strengthening Indian heritage. Hindi is truly going Global you take Microsoft programs, google frames, even websites like e-bay, face book are comming up with Hindi version for increasing multi users. Programs like text to speech, voice to text, are all in available in "Devnagari lipi" on the net. Hindi has achieved its prominent place in the global village. Mentality of people is changing giving due importance to language. Hindi has a history behind; it belongs to Indo–Aryan branch of indo European language family. The word 'Hindi' itself is a gift of Persian, Mughals added to its flavor, Amir Khusro was first to write Hindi Poem. Globalization becomes easy when we use Internet in English language. Foreign nations are also studying Hindi for better understanding of the Indian Culture and its rich heritage. Figures from universities and educational institutions prove the inclination of foreign nationals towards studying Indian culture and language. Many foreign nationals come on tourists visa and extend their stay here to study Indian Classical Music and Dance. I personally know many foreign tourists who not only reads but understand all Hindi newspapers published in India and have learnt to speak and write our Hindi language as Nationals of The Indian Republic Offering due respect to our Mother Tongue. I really offer my gratitude to all my friends living abroad and learning Hindi as an International Language. I salute their student learning instincts. Today when we talk of building "Supreme Humans Beings", society again plays an important role in curbing the young generations Like in case of kinder garden kids (2-5 years old) all depends on how we mould there thinking and condition there young minds limiting them the way we have been taught. Teaching them to discriminate between the righteous and the evil in our own predecided manner. Let us not stop dominating the comming Generations by overloading our thinking on them and leave them learn on their own as Children are the face of God on earth. Gandhiji used this language to unite the whole India and used this language as 'language of unity'. The word Swadeshi revolutionize the freedom struggle, and its entry into the Oxford dictionary marks its importance in world history. This mundane routine continues year after year with programmes and seminars being arranged, essays and poems written in Hindi and prizes being distributed to the winners. Once the routine is over, everyone is back to their happy selves and forget Hindi. Today, English is the defacto national language in India. Right from our Prime Minister to the lower level, people give high importance to English. Then why bluff about Hindi being the national language of India? Why can't we shed over our addiction to English as a medium for communication? In this process, our usage of Hindi gets diluted. Why, even regarding other vernacular languages like Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali etc. the story is the same. Parents refuse to send their children to vernacular medium schools and insist on admissions to English medium schools. They feel it prestigious for their children to study in convent schools. We, as a nation are losing our identity by giving importance to English language. We still gloat in pride when our children become Green card holders and settle in America. And then, not all children become Green card holders. In fact they become confused with this foreign language. Is this a positive development? Look at other developed countries like China, Japan, Germany and other countries. No one speaks English over there. Of course, they use English as an international language but the medium of instruction in China is always Chinese and in Germany, they use German language. Then why such dependence over English Language only in India? Why do we still think, we will achieve progress only if we are educated in English? When will this attitude of our countrymen go? There are no answers to these questions. But one thing is certain, unless we recognize our respective mother tongues and respect our Rashtra Bhaasha, we will not achieve true progress. Our nation will lose its character and identity. In fact, in future, Hindi Divas will be remembered as the death anniversary of our national language. Regards Shail |
