The Legacy of Hindi Diwas
Every year, September 14 is observed as Hindi Diwas across India. The day marks a historic moment in 1949 when the Constituent Assembly of India adopted Hindi in the Devanagari script as the official language of the Republic of India. In 1953, the first Hindi Diwas was celebrated under the initiative of India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who wanted to honour the importance of the language in shaping national identity.
