Lucknow: As part of the Hindi Diwas celebrations, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan organized a one-day seminar in the Nirala Auditorium of Hindi Bhavan, Lucknow.
After lighting the lamp, garlanding the statue of Maa Saraswati, offering flowers, Vani Vandana was presented by Sarvjeet Singh.
Guests – Dr. Ramkathin Singh, Dr. Shruti, Dr. Ramesh Pratap Singh were welcomed by RP Singh, Director, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan by presenting a memento.
Dr. Ramesh Pratap Singh said – Hindi language has the possibilities of expansion. Hindi is a collection of all languages. Language is a means of expression. Today’s Hindi is not limited to the official language. There is no language simpler than Hindi. Hindi was rich even before and the elements of heritage are present in today’s Hindi.
Hindi could not become the national language, it is not just Hindi but the lack of strong will power, Hindi is our feelings, sensitivity and culture. Regional, provincial languages like Kannada, Nepali hinder the development of Hindi. Keshav Chandra Shen played a big role in creating an identity for Hindi at the national level. Hindi language was never in a weak position.
Hindi writers contributed a lot in the country’s independence. Writers also had timeless power due to which the country became independent.
Dr. Shruti said – Today Hindi language is facing many challenges. There is an unprecedented ability to speak in Hindi. India is a country of multilingual and diverse cultures. Only Hindi has the ability to tie the linguistic culture in one thread. Hindi is not only a language but also the culture of India, Hindi is the bindi on the forehead of Mother India. Mahatma Gandhi laid a lot of emphasis on monolingualism. Hindi has the ability to incorporate other languages. The vocabulary of Hindi is constantly increasing. Hindi has an amazing ability of communication. The media and films also promoted Hindi. Hindi has been incorporating words from different languages. Self-confidence is required to take Hindi forward. There is a need to propagate the spirit of our Hindi among the countrymen today.
Dr. Ramkathin Singh said – The magazine ‘Vigyan’, published continuously since 1914 by the Science Council, played an important role in promoting Hindi. Gunakaramule’s name is prominent among non-Hindi writers.
Currently, the new education policy is also trying to advance Hindi. We should feel proud in writing, speaking, reading and learning in our mother tongue. He said that we should emphasize on original writing instead of translation. Hindi is a capable language, which has sufficient capacity for science writing. He recited his poem centered on the subject of science.
Dr. Amita Dubey, Chief Editor, Uttar Pradesh Hindi Sansthan conducted the program and expressed gratitude to all the litterateurs, scholars and media persons present in the seminar.
