Hindi Diwas: Our Country’s Pride. | India Book of Records’ Honour
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev were given the death sentence by the British government back in 1931 on the same, unfortunate date of March 23, 1931, after the infamous Lahore Conspiracy. After that, for almost two decades the entire country was burning with the struggle for freedom, identity, and a sense of self. On the midnight hour of August 15, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru announced a free nation to the entire world and it took exactly two years, 11 months, and 18 days for the Indian Constitution to come into effect and for our country to start being governed with our own laws, by the hands of our own people, without any British influence. On the day of September 14, 1949, during the period when the Constituent Assembly was still in the process of writing the Constitution of India, Article 343 was added, stating Hindi in the Devanagri script as the official language of the Union of India, and that was the day that the Indian citizens began commemorating as the Hindi Diwas. And so, keeping the spirit-of-self alive, India Book of Records celebrates the symbolism of owning up to who you are and what you can be. We commend the efforts of the two most prominent members of the Constituent Assembly who initiated the whirlwind that led to Hindi becoming the official language of the free State – K M Munshi and N Gopalaswamy Ayyangar.
Our shining record holders have also created some ripples in the fabric of time with their patriotic attempts, and the auspicious date of Hindi Diwas is the right time to commemorate some of the brilliant record holders of India Book of Records.
Patriotic Stars of IBR
- S. Amelia created the history of being the youngest to recite the entire Preamble of the Indian Constitution in three different languages (Hindi, English, and Malayalam), while Dakshina Singh was the fastest to do so in Hindi and also memorise parts of our Constitution! Another patriot and crafty brainiac of India Book of Records was Reshma Ramachandran, who carved out the Constitution in just a coloured pencil lead, and Anupriya Amitkumar Gawade took it even further by reciting the maximum number of articles of the Indian Constitution along with the Preamble. At just the tender age of 4 years, Sahas Sarang Raghatate, became the fastest kid to answer 50 questions on Ramayana in Hindi, and Gayatri Tembhare set the unapproachable benchmark of being the fastest to mirror-write the complete National Anthem in Hindi. Such is the brilliance of our extraordinary record holders and India Book of Records appreciates and honours each and every single one of them!
Our Nation. Our Identity.
The database of India Book of Records is brimming with such excellence, and these extraordinaires inspire millions of others to keep the sense of their identity alive, and to be grateful to the country they have been born in. This Hindi Diwas, India Book of Records wishes to send out a message into the world that India was, is, and will always be a country that stands for the truth, believes in self-reliance, and strives towards success while ensuring growth and prosperity for all those who live here. Celebrate Hindi Diwas and honour the efforts of those who died giving you a free nation!
