The Hindi language has been originally derived from Devanagari, a kind of scripting language which was used in very ancient India and Nepal. It is written from left to right and has a strong preference for symmetrical rounded shapes within squared outlines. It is recognizable by a horizontal line that runs along the top of full letters.<\/p>\n

    As per the Indian Constitution of Article 351<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>it is the duty of the Union Government to promote the Hindi language, as a medium of expression for all the elements of the composite culture of India. The Indian Constitution deals with the official languages of the Indian Commonwealth which includes Hindi in Devanagari and English.<\/em><\/p>\n

    It was planned by the Union Government<\/em><\/strong> during 1965 to make Hindi as sole working language<\/em><\/strong> (as per directives in Article 344 (2) and Article 351).But because of non-native speakers such as those of South India they were resisted on the imposition of Hindi. And thus it led to the continuation of English as the all-purpose official language by the Official Languages Act of 1963.<\/p>\n

    The hard core of the Hindi language<\/a> can be seen in the Indian states of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand. Though English has set a platform for an official purpose internationally but for us, Hindi resides inside our hearts and we are proud of our mother tongue.<\/p>\n
