Hindi Diwas

To commemorate the adoption of Hindi in Devanagari script as one of the official languages in different Hindi speaking states of India, "Hindi Diwas" is celebrated on September 14. Hindi was adopted as one of the two official languages of the Republic of India by Constituent Assembly of India due to the efforts of Beohar Rajendra Simha along with Hazari Prasad Dwivedi, Kaka Kalelkar, Maithili Sharan Gupt and Seth Govind Das. As such, on the 50th birthday of Beohar Rajendra Simha on September 14, 1949, the efforts resulted in the adoption of Hindi as an official language. This decision was ratified by the Constitution of India that came into effect on January 26, 1950. Under Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, Hindi written in Devanagari script was adopted as one of the official languages. In all, there are 22 Scheduled languages of India.
