Hindi Diwas-All You Need to Know

Languages play a crucial role in the life of every individual. It helps us shape our ideas and communicate our thoughts and beliefs. One such language that holds a special place in the hearts of every Indian is Hindi. Every year, the 14th of September is celebrated as Hindi Diwas. On this day, Hindi was selected as one of the languages that were to have official status in the Republic of India. However, the decision to give Hindi the status of official language was not easy. After three years of debate, K.M. Munshi and N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar came to a conclusion where they declared Hindi as the official language of the federal government of India. In that judgment, it was also decided to accept English as an associate official language for 15 years, and during that timeline, Hindi’s formal lexicon would be developed. Once the 15-year timeline was over, the officials of the Government of India decided to use English as the “de facto formal language of India.”

Importance of Language

The language and culture of any country are the crucial factors that decide its growth and prosperity. Moreover, an official language is the driving force behind the unity of a nation and distinguishes a country from others. It connects people and helps them understand what others are trying to say. The benefits of language for society are:

  • Importance to culture and society

Learning and understanding a language helps an individual get closer to a community. When people share a common language, they can understand what others are trying to convey. Moreover, they can express their feelings and thoughts better.

  • Importance to business

Having a good command of a language is vital for the economic development of a country. When a business has the potential to go global, learning a foreign language becomes crucial at that time. Also, understanding the sentiments of people becomes vital when businesses want to expand to unknown territories.

  • Importance of personal communication

Humans communicate through gestures and words. Though most of the communication is non-verbal, understanding a language is crucial for personal communication. Making the proper use of language skills is vital when a person wants to show their emotions or express what they are thinking.

Languages are important as it is a pathway to express emotions, communicate ideas, and share feelings. Without the use of language, human beings cannot communicate properly, which will impact their growth and development.
