Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers, including Amit Shah, on Thursday greeted the countrymen on the occasion of Hindi Diwas.
“Best wishes to all my family members on the occasion of Hindi Diwas. I wish that Hindi language will continue to strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill,” the Prime Minister wrote on X (formerly twitter).
Extending his warm wishes, Home Minister Shah in a message said, “India has been a country of diverse languages. Hindi unites the diversity of languages in the world’s largest democracy. Hindi has been a democratic language. It has honoured different Indian languages and dialects as well as many global languages and adopted their vocabularies, sentences and grammar rules.”
He said the Hindi language played an unprecedented role in uniting the country during the difficult days of Independence movement, adding it instilled a feeling of unity in a country divided into many languages and dialects.
“Hindi, as a language of communication, played an important role in carrying forward the freedom struggle from East to West and North to South in the country,” Shah added.
