Hindi has been the pride of Indians since olden times. People continued to modify Sanskrit and slowly made Hindi as its easier version. Hindi has given us a separate identity and image around the globe.
Swami Vivekananda as we all know went to the United States of America and when everybody was laughing at him due to his attire, language or his values, he spoke in Hindi at a conference where all Englishmen were sitting.
This was perhaps the first time as Indian had stood up for himself on an international platform. Since then, we have witnessed many orators speaking in Hindi at international platforms.
However, today we see that Hindi is vanishing from our culture. People are ashamed to speak in Hindi as they think it to be an insult to their knowledge. Remember one thing always, English was, is and always be a second language. As foreigners take pride in their langauge, why can't we as Indians take pride to speak Hindi?
