Amit Shah: hindi and Other indian Languages are Allies, Not Competitors
On Saturday, Union home minister amit shah emphadata-sized that hindi and other indian languages are not in competition but are friends that complement and enhance each other. Speaking on hindi Diwas, Shah expressed that the spirit of the Constituent assembly was to encourage communication in any indian language—whether hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, or Gujarati—as all contribute to enriching the country’s culture, history, literature, and values.
Shah highlighted that this year’s hindi Diwas is significant as it marks the 75th anniversary of hindi being adopted as the official language of the Union on september 14, 1949. He reflected on the journey of hindi over these 75 years, affirming that hindi does not compete with other languages but rather supports and strengthens them. According to Shah, every indian language—whether Gujarati, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, or Bangla—reinforces hindi, and vice versa.
He noted that prominent figures in the hindi movement, such as Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, mahatma gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Netaji subhash chandra Bose, were from non-Hindi speaking regions, underscoring the inclusive nature of the movement. The committee led by N. Gopalaswamy Ayyangar and K. M. Munshi, which advocated for hindi as the official language, also included members from non-Hindi speaking areas.
Shah praised prime minister Narendra Modi for his efforts over the past decade to promote hindi and other indian languages. Modi has addressed international forums in hindi and has emphadata-sized the importance of indian languages both domestically and globally. The prime minister has also enhanced pride in the country’s languages and supported the introduction of primary education in mother tongues through the new education policy.
Under Modi’s leadership, Shah noted, significant progress has been made to strengthen hindi and local languages, including the development of tools like ‘Kanthasth’ and the establishment of hindi in government functions. The government is also creating a portal for translating texts between hindi and all languages listed in the Eighth Schedule using Artificial Intelligence.
Shah concluded by encouraging all citizens to pledge their support for hindi and local languages on hindi Diwas and to assist the efforts of the Department of Official Language. He affirmed that India's languages are among the richest in the world, and hindi plays a crucial role in uniting them.
