Today is Hindi Divas!
But do we sincerely respect our official national language! Many claim
that Hindi is being neglected by its own speakers! As long as pseudo
Hindi speakers are there, Raj Thackeray and his ilk will have their
say.
-Hindi is the only language in this nation, which is always used as a
cash crop by different segments. Politicians often speak in Hindi to
impoverished electorate in BIMARU region
-Those who talk about Kalavatis hardly speak in Hindi in their
personal lives.
-Bollywood (sic) uses it to make films where main characters speak
Hindi dialogue but written in roman script. You may no longer find
beautiful lyrics by Neeraj and Shailender.
-It’s the only language where bland poetry, short stories and
literature as a whole gets rewarded but talented scholars are
overshadowed by networkers.
How many really care for … Renu or Jaishankar Prasad

-Perhaps, it is the
only language where only Babu ji of a film actor cum networker rules
but great poets be it Pant,Nirala, Mahadevi verma and gopal das Neeraj
are ignored.
-No noted literary fest, or literary agency takes interest in Hindi
literature.
Perhaps, all Hindi writers don’t go to premier educational institutes,
join elite professions and write about upper crust!
-It’s the only language which has given birth too many successful
advertisements but few copy writers wish to write about it.
-Electronic News Mediums always prefer anglophile, even if news is
about Jhumri Talliyya or Dalton gunj.
-TV news coverage shows many former presidents and prime ministers
hardly spoke in Hindi.
-Can one use Hindi in Chennai, Dimapur or Kashmir!
- Whenever innocent human beings are beaten up, their livelihood is at
stake, no politician, film actor, literary personality takes on rabble
rousers and say- Let us sort it out but do not harass laypersons!
If Hindi is surviving, its credit goes to laypersons who accept it as
way of life. If it is doomed, then it is all because of so called Babu
ji s and their baccheys!
