Hindi ki Chindi : rated rt

        Well how many of us know when is HINDI DIWAS. It’s on the 14^th of September every year, which we as proud patriots should know. You might be able to remember it with the event that occurs 3 days after the 9/11 mornings. We all take pride to introduce HINDI as our nation language but take very less pains to speak it or to encourage it. As common people you too can raise a question – “Why is he preaching so much. Has he forgotten he too is using English to express hi views”. Well the answer is in form of a rhetorical question itself “would you even read that article if it be in pure Hindi”, if your answer is yes and you really think you would put arduous efforts to look up the tough words in a “HINDI DICTIONARY” there’s hope.

“Chalo chaaddo yaar, apne ko kya karna”. Now let me get to the real article. Well we Indians take pride in adopting things. We are quick to adopt things as if our own, English not an exception. We overdo such things so much that we forget what we had in the first place. Hindi is our mother tongue, we say it with pride. But many of us face a lisp when they speak “MATRA BHASHA”. Our affinity for foreign things has led us to forget our native ones. In the lines for pizzas and burgers we have forgotten the taste of puran poli. So much that Indian govt. had to open a university just to save the flavors of India that are getting extinct. English is a language required everywhere. Without it our future is questionable. But its dominance in the literary field has put Hindi in shackles once again.

        The present culture has led us to forget the fact that sounded in 1947 as one of our freedom slogans “HINDI HAI HUM”. Well how Hindi are we now. Maybe “HINDLISH HAI HUM” cause we fail to realize that we have lost the capacity to speak even one sentence without using an English word. Well we have even lost track of all the no. of vowels and consonants in HINDI.

Every reader, I know, must be thinking why he is being so preachy. Well the answer lies around us in the cornucopia of problems we, as a country are facing now. Demoralizing problems like corruption, overpopulation, uneducation have led us to start liking other powerful countries. We want to follow the pop culture and become oblivious to the plague corrupting our nation. We are strengthening the conspiracy theory that it’s a US plan to implant English so deep that people cannot even speak their native languages without uttering a word of English. Well if it was a plan, hell it got successful. People nowadays take pride of talking with their kids in English, not with a purpose of educating them with a language which the will have to inevitably learn to survive. But people have started to look down upon the language. English authors of contemporary India feel as well as find their stature far above those of Hindi. Politicians of our own country tagging others as “HINDI BHASHI” and banishing them, disposing them out as if casting out lepers has became the trend in modern India.

        Being a satirical page I donot expect any changes in the readers. But if you have made it so far not feeling disgusted of yourself, then probability you are too practical for such national notions or lack the capacity to connect. But in the end, remembering and revering is all that we can do to our mother tongue and this is the only message I wanted to implant in the entire reader’s minds. “Venerate your mother tongue” is the latent message of this satirical page named IRREVERANCE”.

 P.S. for all those patient readers who were able to make it till the end RT means revolutionary thoughts
