Hindi Diwas: India Has Many States Speaking Other Languages, DMK's Elangovan Replies To PM

On Hindi Diwas, DMK Spokesperson TKS Elangovan said, language was not the uniting force of India but it was the privy purse that was instrumental in uniting the nation.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and other national leaders extended their wishes on the occasion of Hindi Diwas, DMK Spokesperson TKS Elangovan said that only a few states speak Hindi in India while the remaining states speak some other language. He added that language was not the uniting force of India but it was the privy purse that was instrumental in uniting the nation. Every year, Hindi Diwas is celebrated on September 14 to commemorate the day on which the Hindi language was adopted as one of the official languages of the Republic of India in 1949.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, PM Modi said "I wish that Hindi language will continue to strengthen the thread of national unity and goodwill." 


Union Home Minister Amit Shah also extended his wishes on Hindi Diwas. Speaking on the occasion of Hindi Diwas, Shah said that the third 'Akhil Bhartiya Rajbhasha Sammelan' will be organised in Pune this year.

"India has also promoted the use of Hindi in the United Nations...The third 'Akhil Bhartiya Rajbhasha Sammelan' will be organised in Pune this year," Shah said.

However, DMK spokesperson reiterated that many states in India have non-Hindi speakers. TKS Elangovan said, "India consists of 28 states whereas only and states speak Hindi, remaining states speak some other language...Language is not the uniting force of India...It is the privy purse which united India."
