Union Home Minister Amit Shah Saturday said that there is harmony between Hindi and other Indian languages as they complement each other to boost India’s cultural outlook.
Addressing the fourth Akhil Bhartiya Rajbhasha Sammelan on Hindi Diwas, Shah said the promotion of Hindi cannot happen until all other Indian languages are strengthened and the official language establishes a dialogue with all of them.

“Our country is not a geopolitical, but a geo-cultural country and the link that connects our country is culture… There can never be a competition between Hindi and other Indian languages as they are friends and complement each other,” he said.

Shah said the Centre is working towards the use of Hindi in education, technical education, and the judiciary. “Rajasthan, UP, MP and Uttarakhand have today made the entire curriculum of medical education in Hindi and work is underway to prepare engineering curriculum in about 13 languages of India in the coming days,” he added.

Shah said the Hindi Diwas this year is very important for everyone because, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India accepted Hindi as the official language of the Union.

“Hindi has seen many ups and downs in 75 years but at this juncture, I can definitely say that Hindi has no competition with any local language. Hindi is a friend (sakhi) of all Indian languages and they complement each other,” he said.
Shah said the Hindi Diwas is an occasion to take a pledge to make Hindi a communication language, a common language, a technical language and now an international language.
