Hindi Diwas Day Observed at Pilani Rajasthan Shridhar University

No one has doubt that language indeed shapes the way we think, and also determines what we can think about.

It was on 14 September 1949, the Constitution-makers of India decided to accord the status of Official Language of the Union to Hindi written in Devanagari script. To commemorate this historic occasion, Hindi Diwas is observed every year on the same date.

The importance of Hindi in the global arena can be judged by the fact that the hugely popular and highly acclaimed social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter etc have included Hindi versions.

Prof Bir Singh in his inimitable style addressing the faculty and students of Shridhar University gave details about the genesis of this day. Faculty Ajay Kumar recited the famous Agneepath lines penned by noted Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Prof BR Natarajan Pro Vice Chancellor giving the quote of Samuel Taylor Coleridge “Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests” said that Hindi Ghazals can be equally charming and soul searching like the ones written in Urdu.
