Hindi Diwas

When India became independent, efforts were made by the government to broaden the language's reach. But earlier, at its Karachi session in 1925, the Indian National Congress decided to make Hindustani - a mixture of Hindi and Urdu - the language of independent India.

However, this proposal was later revised, and with the coming of the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, it was suggested that Hindi alone be made the national language.

As a language, Hindi not only commands respect but is widely spoken; Its popularity was sustained by the Hindi cinema. We celebrate Hindi Day as we acknowledge the importance of the language spoken by 43.6 percent of speakers in India, who recognize Hindi as their mother tongue - according to the 2011 census.

There are also other forms of language, such as Awadhi, Braj, and Khadi Boli.

National Hindi Day or Hindi Day is celebrated every year on 14 September in India to promote Hindi in India. The day is a celebration of the Hindi language and its cultural heritage and values among people at home and abroad.

Various Hindi literary festivals, Hindi poetry sessions, Hindi essay writing competitions, and speech competitions are organized all over the country and to celebrate Hindi Day.
