Schools Must Celebrate Hindi Diwas
It is unfortunate that even as Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India and has
also been sanctioned as one of the official languages of the Republic of India most schools
in India treat it as unimportant. English is given more significance and stress is laid upon
learning both spoken and written English.
Children, these days, grow up with a mindset that a person who speaks English knows
everything and is better in every respect than those who are not fluent in the language.
Those who choose to speak in Hindi during the interviews or elsewhere are looked down
upon. This mindset should be changed. It is true that English is a global language and is
given preference especially in the corporate world and it is not wrong to hone the students‟
written and spoken English. However, they should not be given an impression that Hindi is
lesser than English in any respect. It is time the students must be taught to value and
respect both the languages alike.
Just as the schools conduct fun activities and cultural programs on other special occasions
such as Diwali, Independence Day and Janamashtami, they must also celebrate Hindi
Diwas to rejoice our mother tongue.
Conclusion
Hindi Diwas is a great way to pay respect to our national language, Hindi. The newer
generation is fascinated by the western culture and English language and is following them
blindly. This day is a good way to remind them of their roots which is important in building
their character.
