A country cannot feel sense of pride if own people do not speak native language: HM

NEW DELHI, SEP 15, 2025: UNION Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, attended 5th Akhil Bhartiya Rajbhasha Sammelan in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, on the occasion of Hindi Diwas 2025 as the Chief Guest. On this occasion, Chief Minister of Gujarat Bhupendra Patel, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar and several other dignitaries were also present. Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation also released several publications.

While addressing the conference, the Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that Hindi is the companion of Indian languages and that there is no conflict between Hindi and other Indian languages. Shah said that the biggest example of this is Gujarat. In Gujarat, scholars like Swami Dayanand Saraswati, Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and K.M. Munshi accepted Hindi and also promoted it. He said that the coexistence of Gujarati and Hindi made Gujarat an excellent example of the development of both languages. Shah said that Hindi is a part of education system of Gujarat, and because of this, the reach of Gujarat's children has expanded greatly across the country. He added that many visionary leaders taught Indian languages to communicate with each other and urged the promotion of Hindi in every state, as a result of which a person from Gujarat can go anywhere in the country and easily conduct business as well as gain acceptance.

Amit Shah said that for the last five years, the Akhil Bhartiya Rajbhasha Sammelan has been held outside Delhi in different parts of the country, which has provided a very good opportunity to strengthen dialogue between Hindi and other Indian languages. He said that the experience of the past four conferences has been that such conferences provide new perspectives, energy, and inspiration. Shah added that Hindi should not remain just a language of conversation and administration, but should also become the language of science, technology, justice, and policing. He added that when all work is done in Indian languages, the bonding with the people automatically deepens.

Union Home Minister said that the Sarathi translation system facilitates easy translation from Hindi to all recognized Indian languages. Shah urged all state Chief Ministers to send him letters in their respective languages, assuring that responses would be sent in the same language. He emphasized that the Sarathi system is equipped to translate in any language and also translate responses from Hindi into the recipient's language. He added that, in the coming days, communication through Sarathi will be in one's native language.

Amit Shah said that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj emphasized three key principles in the fight for Swaraj: Swaraj, Swadharma amd Swabhasha, all of which are interconnected with national pride. He said that a country where the spoken language is not its own cannot truly experience freedom or pride. To foster pride in our languages, the Shabd Sindhu dictionary was created, starting with 51,000 words and now exceeding 7 lakh words. Shah expressed confidence that by 2029, it will become the largest dictionary in all languages of the world. He highlighted that this dictionary is making Hindi more flexible, which is essential to become a widely used spoken language. The use of Shabd Sindhu will make Hindi versatile, adaptable, and widely accepted.

Union Home Minister also mentioned that Mahatma Gandhi made significant contributions to the development of the Gujarati dictionary, recognizing that a society cannot stand tall globally without a strong native language. He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done extensive work for the welfare of differently-abled individuals. Shah emphasized the need to leverage science and technology to fully harness their potential. He highlighted an AI-powered pair of glasses showcased at the event, which will greatly assist visually impaired individuals. With these glasses, even those who are completely visually impaired can read, and whatever they read will be audible in their native language through the AI-powered system.

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation said that Mahatma Gandhi used to say that Hindi is the language that keeps the nation united. He said that Sanskrit gave us the river of knowledge, Hindi carried that knowledge into every home, and mother tongues spread it to every individual.

Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Modi has done a lot through technology to strengthen our local languages. He mentioned that, inspired by Prime Minister Modi, the Ministry of Home Affairs has created the Bhartiya Bhasha Anubhag under the Department of Official Language. This division will not only strengthen Hindi but also support and promote all Indian languages. Shah also said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, the Department of Official Language has advanced many initiatives. Over the past four years, the Official Language Committee has presented three volumes, and the fourth volume has also been prepared. He noted that Official Language Committees have been established in nearly 539 cities across the country.

About 3 lakh 28 thousands government employees from other language backgrounds have been trained in Hindi. In addition, 40,000 employees have been trained in typing, 1,918 in shorthand, and 13,000 in translation. He added that Prime Minister Modi has introduced JEE, NEET, and UGC examinations in 12 languages, which has increased the chances of success for students who study in their mother tongue. Shah said that examinations for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) are now also conducted in 12 languages. He recalled that in the 1970s, people used to say that Hindi was becoming a thing of the past, but yesterday we can proudly say that the official language and our Indian languages are the languages of the future, and they will also become the languages of technology, science, and justice.
