As i went through the delightful post our dear M , has written below,a small ,specific though significant mistake caught my eye…Not that it has any relations to the post as such , it is just that small thing which i had to clarify for the general benefit of everyone !!!
i realised how millions of Indians live with this grave misunderstanding, and also quote it in liberally at an inkling of a deabte on the beautiful language from the devnagari script – HINDI !
Hindi, with all its beauty and splendour, is NOT india’s National language…infact India has NO ‘single’ national languge listed.
HINDI is , as per the constitution of India, the ‘Official’ Language of India (and English too, has being granted the status of secondary Official Langauge ).
I hope this clarifies…to read more about the beautiful language of Hindi spoken by almost 41.03% Indians , refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India.
Aapka Din Shubh Ho 🙂
Smilingly, P
I have a slightly different view, but I respect you for posting this story.
