Efni fyrirlestrarins:

India is a land of diversity that manifests itself in terms of different regions, cultures, religions, social practices, languages, etc. Administratively speaking, Indian geography has been divided into 28 states and 8 union territories broadly on linguistic principles. The language policies have been framed to exuberate respect for linguistic diversity keeping in mind the diverse regional and indigenous languages flowering in the country. Languages are a significant tool not just for expression but also for empowerment, henceforth India not only preserves the diverse languages as sacred tools but also celebrates their existence. It is in this context that we annually observe Hindi Diwas or National Hindi Day on September 14 to mark the adaptation of Hindi as the official language by the Constituent Assembly on September 14, 1949.
