Hindi Diwas or Hindi Day is celebrated every year on September 14. This day commemorates the adoption of Hindi, written in Devanagari script, as one of the official languages of India.
Hindi Diwas: History
The date for Hindi Diwas was chosen because on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India had adopted Hindi written in Devanagari script as one of the official languages of the Republic of India.
However, the first Hindi Day was celebrated on September 14, 1953. Hindi was chosen as one of the official languages was to simplify administration in a nation which has multiple languages.
