Language forms the very essence of any kind of communication. For a country like India, its rich diversity translates into many different languages and cultures which have their own unique identity and that is why India does not have a national language. However, Hindi is used as one of the two official languages (English being the other one) for the purpose of communication by the government of India in the Parliament.

Every year, September 14 is celebrated as Hindi Diwas to celebrate the language on the birth anniversary of Beohar Rajendra Simha, an Indian scholar and proponent of the Hindi language. However, it shouldn't be confused with World Hindi Day, which is celebrated every year on January 10. Interestingly, the language which uses the Devanagari script has quite a history in the country.
