Dehradun: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of Uttarakhand on the occasion of Hindi Diwas. In his message, the Chief Minister said that Hindi is not merely a language but a symbol of our cultural emotions, aspirations, and ideals, which connects us with our traditions and heritage.
He emphasized that the language of any nation plays a vital role in preserving its culture and values. Hindi, he said, is not just a medium of communication but also a reflection of our identity, civilization, and ethos. It serves as the foundation of national unity and integrity and has always worked to bind India’s diverse society into one thread.
Calling Hindi the “soul of the nation,” the Chief Minister noted that the language has enriched Indian civilization and has given the country a special identity on the global stage. With its simplicity, inclusiveness, and strength, Hindi possesses the unique ability to harmonize diversity.
Highlighting the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dhami said that the PM has significantly contributed to giving Hindi international recognition. The regular use of Hindi in programs like Mann Ki Baat and at global forums has enhanced its stature across the world. Today, Hindi is being taught and studied in many countries, proving its global relevance.
The Chief Minister further said that Hindi has played a vital role in creating awareness in society. From the days of the freedom struggle to the present, Hindi has been a strong medium of social consciousness and unity. During the freedom movement, it emerged as the language of struggle and continues to symbolize our traditions and values.
He reiterated that the state government is consistently working towards the promotion and development of Hindi. Appealing to the citizens, the Chief Minister urged everyone to uphold the pride of Hindi and resolve to use it more frequently in their daily lives.
“Hindi is not only one of the most popular languages in India but also across the world. It acts as a cultural bridge among Indians and has the unique ability to create harmony with the country’s diverse languages. Preserving and promoting Hindi is the collective responsibility of us all,” the Chief Minister added.
