The Journey of Hindi: Evolution, Expansion, and Influence.
Abstract
The journey of Hindi from the Bharatendu era in enslaved India to the era of the freedom movement and after regaining independence till today, the entire cleverness, flavour and attitude of Hindi in India has changed. From enslaved India to the present India, in the words of our respected and honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Hindi has also become new in New India. You can also call it New Hindi, then it is not surprising. It is surprising when the country is changing and the language does not change! New Hindi is closely associated with the creation of this New India and why only New India, Hindi has such a strong presence and global impact on the entire global stage that you hear the slogan in the general elections of Britain - This time Cameron government, and in the American elections you hear the slogan - This time Trump government. Hearing this, it seems as if Cameron and Trump are going to form the government by contesting elections from India itself. Then when we hear this Hindi from the mouth of former US President Barack Obama in the form of 'How are you Mr. Prime Minister'. Or when we hear this dialogue from the movie XXX from the mouth of the American President that 'Small things keep happening in big countries, Senorita'. Then the glory of Hindi and the rule of Hindi become visible globally, due to its proof and dense presence, the magic of which speaks loudly on everyone's mind.
