On the eve of Hindi diwas,here are some of the facts about hindi - Hindi got its name from the persian word Hind,meaning Land of the Indus River.Today most of it flows through Pakistan. - The earliest form of old hindi was Apabhrama.In 400 A.D.,Kalidasa, a famous Indian literary playwright wrote a romantic play in Apabhrama - In year 1881,Bihar accepted Hindi as its sole official language and thus became the first state of India to adopt Hindi. -It bacame the official language of India in 1965. - Hindi is also spoken in some countries outside India such as Mauritius,Fiji,Suriname,Guyana,Trinidad & Tobago,Pakistan ,Nepal etc. In fact it is spoken by 500 million people, making it one of the most spoken languages worldwide.But unfortunately I have to say that in our own country India, children in the countryside dont even know how to read and write in Hindi due to lack of resources with them. Such a state of affairs even after 67 years of independence.
