My dear frnds do you know
why we celebrate hindi diwas?
Well here is what the
history says ....
14th September is
celebrated across the country as Hindi Diwas. But do you know why this date is
chosen exclusively to celebrate the day? Let us narrate the history behind the
celebration of Hindi Diwas on 14th September. When our country attained freedom
from British rule in 1947, then a big concern of language was standing before
them. India is a huge country with a varied culture. There are hundreds of
languages that are spoken in the country and more than thousands of dialects.
On 6th December 1946, Constitution Assembly was called to prepare the
constitution of independent India. Sacchinanand Sinha was appointed as the
Interim Director of Constitution Assembly, later he was replaced by Dr Rajendra
Prasad. Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar was the Chairman of Drafting Committee of
Constitution Assembly. The Assembly presented the final draft on 26th November
1949. Hence, independent India received its constitution on 26th January 1950
completely. 
But still, the concern
for choosing an official language for the constitution was still unattended.
After a long debate and discussion, Hindi and English were chosen as the
official language of independent India. On 14th September 1949, Constitution
Assembly accepted Hindi written in Devnagri Script and English as an official
language. Later, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru announced this day to be celebrated as
Hindi Diwas in the country. First Hindi Diwas was celebrated on 14th September
1953. 
“Hindi Diwas” was celebrated at our school campus
A special assembly with recreational activities marked the occasion with students singing melodious Kabir’s Dohey, Rahim’s Dohey and Thulasidas’s Dohey,
beautiful speeches and kids depicted themselves with the famous Hindi Readers and Writers.
