HINDI DIWAS ESSAY 2 (300 WORDS) 
Introduction 
The constitution of India adopted Hindi written in Devnagari script as the official language 
of the country under Article 343 back in January 1950. With this, both Hindi and English 
began to be used officially at the Union Government of India level. Hindi Diwas is observed 
on the 14th of September each year as on this date in the year 1949 the Constituent 
Assembly of India adopted our mother tongue as the nation‟s official language. 
The Importance of Hindi Diwas 
Hindi Diwas is celebrated to rejoice the day Hindi became the official language of our 
country. It is also observed each year to stress upon the importance of Hindi and promote 
it amid the generation which is way too impressed with English. It is a way of reminding 
the youth about their roots. No matter where we reach and what we do, if we remain 
grounded and in-sync with our roots, we stay unshakable. Each year, the day reminds us 
of our true identity and unites us with the people of our country. No matter, wherever we 
go our language, culture and values must stay intact and the day serves as a reminder for 
the same. Hindi Diwas is one such day that instils us with patriotic feeling.

In today‟s times, there is an inclination towards English which is understood as it is used 
across the world and is also one of the official languages of India. This day is a small effort 
to remind us that Hindi too is our official language and holds as much importance. 
Conclusion 
While English is a globally used language and the importance of the same cannot be 
overlooked, we must not forget that we are Indians first and must respect our national 
language. The adoption of Hindi as an official language proves that the people in power 
value their roots and want the people of their country to value them too.
