What is the status of Hindi in the UN?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

India has achieved limited progress<\/strong> at the United Nations regarding Hindi. The UN has now made a provision to provide all the important messages and press releases in Hindi.<\/p>\n

However, the government is making all efforts to ensure a rightful place for Hindi<\/strong> at the UN.<\/p>\n

What are the challenges before Hindi and other other languages?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking in Hindi or regional languages is considered inferior <\/strong>in India, due to the burden of colonialism. The ability to converse in English has become a status symbol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some politicians indulge in linguistic chauvinism<\/strong>. But, the family members of such politicians are schooled in English medium.<\/p>\n

How can Indian languages have a global presence?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Indian languages need to be first respected in their motherland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every language keeps evolving<\/strong>. No language can continue to grow without accommodating some more meaningful terms from sister languages. However, there should not be mindless adulterations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hindi needs to be saved from the onslaught of English <\/strong>and other Indian languages from English and Hindi. Hindi-speaking people should ensure respect and recognition<\/strong> for all other Indian languages. Usage is the lifeblood of any language.<\/p>\n

There is a need for hand-holding between Indian languages<\/strong>. Quality translations<\/strong> from Indian languages to other Indian and world languages are necessary. It is time to evolve a mechanism <\/strong>for translating award-winning literary works in Indian languages into all UN languages.<\/p>\n

Engineering and medical education in Hindi is now a reality. If other Indian languages follow suit, they could evolve as languages of the knowledge era<\/strong>. New concepts, new technologies and new knowledge-creation <\/strong>demand new coinages and new terms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a globalised world, Hindi also needs to engage with other foreign languages, especially in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Understanding our very own cultural moorings, taking legitimate pride in our history and our heritage<\/strong> is the prerequisite for the sustenance of languages. In that sense, Hindi and other Indian languages have to further strengthen their roots and then expand their horizons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
