Hindi Diwas honors the richness and essence of the Hindi language, which holds a unique place in Indian culture and heritage. After all, the Hindi language weaves everyone together despite India being a diverse country with people from different cultures, religions, and languages.
Hindi Diwas is observed across India to pay respect to the language. After all, the Constituent Assembly of India approved the widely-spoken Hindi as one of the two official languages in India.
So, dive in to discover the essence of Hindi Diwas.
Hindi Diwas Date: When Is It Celebrated?
Hindi Diwas is commemorated annually on 14th September after being embraced by India's Constituent Assembly. The very 1st Hindi Diwas was observed on 14th September 1953.
This year, 14th September 2024 will fall on a Saturday.
After gaining independence, India had the requirement of a unifying language that could facilitate effective communication between the public and government departments across the country. The drafting committee of the constitution was hugely perplexed regarding the language that could represent the whole nation due to India's diverse culture.
Many prolific personalities and notable leaders, such as Beohar Rajendra Simha, Seth Govind Das, Maithili Sharan Gupt, etc., championed Hindi as the nation's official language because Hindi was widely spoken in India. Beohar Rajendra Simha's, a prominent Hindi scholar, birthday on 14th September became synonymous with Hindi Diwas.
Nevertheless, the other significant languages of India couldn't have been ignored to make Hindi the national language. The Constituent Assembly deliberated extensively, which resulted in the Munshi-Ayyangar formula. This was named after the drafting committee members K. M. Munshi and N. Gopalaswamy Ayyangar. As per this formula, Article 343 states that Hindi in the Devanagari script would be the official language of the Union. However, it was decided that the English language would be used for official purposes.
Finally, on 14th September 1949, Hindi was decided as the official language of India, as stipulated in Article 343. This decision was authorized on 26th January 1950, when the Constitution of India was enacted. Since 1950, Hindi has been the primary language used to communicate between the State and the Union governments of India. It is also the principal language of communication of the Union government. However, you should be aware that the Constitution of India does not recognize any language as the national language.
Furthermore, the State governments had the liberty to pick the languages for their respective states. Thus, with Hindi and English, 22 languages are the formal languages of this nation.
