Hindi Diwas 2026: Amit Shah Says Hindi's Growth Must Respect All Indian Languages

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, on Hindi Diwas, said the growth of Hindi has real significance only when it goes hand in hand with the dignity, promotion and protection of other Indian languages. He described India’s linguistic diversity as a major strength and said the country’s many languages contribute to its cultural richness and unity.

Shah said every Indian language carries its own history, folk traditions and distinct perspective on life. According to him, languages also play an important role in passing cultural values and traditions to younger generations.

He highlighted Hindi’s role in connecting people from different parts of the country, describing it as a language that can facilitate dialogue, interaction and coordination. At the same time, he stressed that Hindi should not be viewed as replacing or representing any single Indian language.

Shah said linguistic diversity strengthens India’s idea of unity in diversity and described language as more than a means of communication, calling it a repository of a society’s memory and self-awareness.

Referring to his own background, Shah noted that Gujarati is his mother tongue but Hindi enables him to communicate directly with people across different regions.

Hindi Diwas is observed on September 14 each year to commemorate the Constituent Assembly’s adoption of Hindi as an official language on September 14, 1949.

Shah also encouraged young people to learn from the wider world while remaining connected to their languages. He urged parents to communicate with children in their mother tongue, emphasising its connection with family, heritage, history and culture.
