Hindi Diwas 2021
14 September is celebrated as Hindi Divas across the country. To honor Hindi, it has been celebrated as Hindi Divas by dedicating a day to it. Mahatma Gandhi had also talked about making Hindi the national language of the country. Gandhiji had also called Hindi the language of the people. Apart from him, many litterateurs also made many efforts for Hindi, but even after many efforts, Hindi could not get the status of the national language.
On September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly accepted Hindi written in Devanagari script as the official language of India. On this day, the government of the country’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru decided to celebrate 14 September every year as Hindi Divas. Officially the first Hindi Day was celebrated on 14 September 1953.
