Celebrating Hindi day

                                                                                                          Celebrating Hindi day

 Formality of celebrating Hindi-Day on 14th September is fulfilled by giving big newspaper-advertisements of public-sector companies, But it would have been better if these companies would have adopted Hindi name for them like Doordarshan was rightly adopted for country's official electronic media. Even dual naming like 'All India Radio' and 'Akashvani' should be done away by retaining only Hindi names like 'Akashvani' also because popular nouns are never translated. Despite New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) making it clear that 'Sansad Marg' should be written in Roman script also as 'Sansad Marg' (see attachment), yet many government-departments/ministries and private companies use translated version as 'Parliament street'. Union government should instead advertise on 14th September for making all concerned ones for using 'Sansad Marg' even in Roman script.

 

Presently even some prominent Hindi newspapers like capital's most widely circulated Navbharat Times are polluting Hindi by imposition of English words not only in Devnagri script but even in Roman script. Perhaps such may be the only example in the world where newspapers may be polluting their very own language of publication in name of 'commonly used' words. Many a times such newspapers give place to even such English words which are not so common as compared to their Hindi equivalents! Even unpopular Hindi words can be effectively popularised if used by media and government. Example is the word Doordarshan which became a household name for commoners once it was used by the national electronic media! Unfortunately we have Bhaarat called India and Dehli spelled as Delhi while most other countries changed names and spellings of their names and of their capitals as per actual pronunciation in their native languages!

 

Even the then UN General Secretary Ban ki Moon appreciated Hindi at recently held World Hindi Conference at New York. The then US president George Bush had accepted Hindi to be amongst popular world-languages being considered to be taught in US in an effort to make his country stay ahead in the fast changing-world. Reversely in India, government and media are busy in upgrading English at the cost of Hindi by creating an impression that domination of English can only make the country progress. Fact remains that such policy restricts all fruits of development to a select category of urbanites knowing English. All developed countries including China, Russia, France, Germany and Japan proudly use their own languages at all international levels without feeling shy of not communicating in English.

 श्रीमान निदेशक (शिकायत)

नई दिल्ली

महोदय,

श्रीमती स्मिता वत्स शर्मा, अपर निबंधक, उच्चतम न्यायालय द्वारा राज भाषा अधिनियम का उल्लंघन 

उक्त प्रसंग में निवेदन है कि मैंने उक्त अधिकारी को दिनांक 16.05.13 को एक आवेदन हिंदी भाषा में प्रस्तुत किया था किन्तु राज भाषा अधिनियम के उल्लंघन में मुझे उसका प्रत्युतर अंग्रेजी भाषा में दिया गया है|

ध्यान देने योग्य है कि मेरा उक्त आवेदन हिंदी भाषा में था और उक्त अधिकारी ने उसे समझ कर उत्तर अंग्रेजी भाषा में दिया है जिसका यह अर्थ है कि आपके प्रासंगिक पत्र दिनांक 03.04.13 के उपरान्त भी, उक्त अधिकारी को हिंदी भाषा का ज्ञान होते हुए, अंग्रेजी भाषा में जवाब दिया गया है और राज भाषा का साशय निरादर किया गया है| उक्त गंभीर स्थिति की ओर आपका ध्यान आकर्षित करते हुए मैं यह निवेदन करने की आवश्यकता नहीं समझता कि न्यायालयों द्वारा गैर न्यायिक क्षेत्र में राजभाषा अधिनियम की अनुपालना प्रारंभ करने से ही राजभाषा का अग्रिम मार्ग प्रशस्त हो सकेगा व अंतिम लक्ष्य प्राप्त किया जा सकेगा|

महामहिम राष्ट्रपतिजी के आदेश भी एक प्रभावी कानून का बल रखते हैं और एक न्यायिक निकाय से अपेक्षा है कि वह उनका बिना किसी प्रतिरोध के उनका सम्मान  करे| अत: उक्त अधिकारी को निर्दिष्ट किया जाए वे कि उक्त आदेशों की अविलम्ब अनुपालना सुनिश्चित करे| आप द्वारा इस प्रसंग में की गयी आवश्यकीय अनुवर्ती कार्यवाही से मुझे अवगत करवाने का श्रम करें|

भवनिष्ठ

Highlights of Mr. Rajiv Dixit's lecture on Hindi Language:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XOll3rF1c&feature=g-vrec

First and foremost, I want to salute Swami Dayanand Saraswati & Mahatma Gandhiji (both born in Gujarat) for fighting to preserve hindi language and increase its importance.

 

Arya Samaji people in Andhra Pradesh fought Nizam, who tried to get rid of Hindi language from his kingdom of Hydrabad.

 

First time on March 29, 1918 Gandhiji declared that Hindi needs to be established as a National Language of India. Congress started passing resolutions in Hindi. Until then, Congress used to pass resolutions in English.

 

Pranam to Gandhiji, who spoke all over India only in Hindi after that announcement in 1918. He spoke only in Hindi even when he visited London, and refused to speak in English.

He used to say that "tell the whole world that Gandhiji forgot english language." British had to keep translator to understand what he was saying in hindi.

 

We celebrate September 14 as a "Hindi Diwas" in Bhaarat to remind ourselves every year that we still to work to make Hindi our true national language. It is sad that even after 64 years of independence government affairs are conducted in english! Hindi don't have constitutional status even today!

 

Chinese language is spoken by about 138 Crore people in the world, and Hindi is spoken by about 120 Crore people. 100 Crore people are in India, and the rest are in rest of the world.

 

On August 15, 1945, British decided that they will leave Bhaarat at the conclusion of World War II. England was in bad shape economically and political leaders were not strong at that time. People of Bhaarat were not paying income tax due to freedom non-cooperation movement all around the country, and they were not buying products of East India company. So England's income from India dropped, and could not support operations in India. Gandhiji and Sardar Patel motivated bhaaratiya not to pay taxes to British government to break their back bone.

 

England's parliament sent one letter (with PM & Opposition Leader's signature) to US President at that time.

US President sent the reply that we understand that it's your majboori to give freedom to Bhaarat. Our suggestion is that to make sure Bhaarat stays in western orbit.

If Bhaarat goes her own way, then rest of us will have lot of difficulties to live our lives, because we are dependent on Bhaarat.

This letter has been disclosed recently by British parliament. I read that letter and made a copy of it.

Today's Bhaarat's disorganized situation has roots in that letter and other about 20,000 letters between England and USA.

 

Those letters are the basis of giving freedom to Bhaarat based on certain conditions. Transfer of Power was designed based on those condition.

It is shameful that our leaders accepted all those conditions in Transfer of Power.

One of the results is that Hindi hasn't achieved constitutional status in Bhaarat so far.

If we didn't accept those conditions in transfer of power, then Bhaarat would be different today.

Bhaarat is the ONLY country out of about 70 countries, who accepted all conditions of gaining freedom.

Even South Africa refused to accept freedom with conditions from England.

 

If Bhaarat is independent, then why are conditions in transfer of power are still effective today?

If Bhaarat is independent, then why are the laws designed by British are effective today?

 

British selected 85% of members of first Lok Sabha after independence, who were their supporters.

They didn't select leaders who opposed them all the time.

British drafted Government of India Act in 1935.

London's Parliament members said that "it is the best document to keep India gulaam for 1000 years".

That document was copied into our India's Independence Act, which includes all the conditions of Government of India Act.

 

329 members of Bhaarat's first Lok Sabha agreed that we will keep the same laws, administration, and language in the constitution and government.

When Gandhiji heard that he told first PM Nehru that "throw this constitution in the garbage can."

When PM Nehru replied that we are working very hard to do all this work, Gandhiji replied "you are preparing to make Bhaarat gulaam again.

This time bhaaratiya people will be gulaam's gulaam." When Nehru asked "How's that?"

Gandhiji replied, "When I will burn this constitution, I will be in the jail of your government. So I will be your gulaam."

 

Gandhiji said that after me, my disciple Vinobaa Bhaave will be true follower of my principles.

When Vinobaa Bhaave got the copy of India's constitution in 1950, he said the constitution does not have any ideas promoted by Gandhiji, like Graam Swarajya, Hindi as a national language, Swadeshi thoughts, etc.

He also told PM Nehru in a letter that I will also burn this constitution.

 

These are highlights of first 35 minutes. Please listen to the whole lecture to find out many interesting facts of Bhaarat Itihaas after freedom in 1947.
