Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday extended greetings on the occasion of Hindi Diwas, describing the language as a bridge of unity in a linguistically diverse country.
In a post on X written in Hindi, Khandu said that Arunachal Pradesh is known for its cultural heritage and diverse tribal languages. In this context, he noted, Hindi has become a medium that connects different languages and cultures, making communication seamless.
He urged citizens to use Hindi more actively in daily life. On this Hindi Diwas, let us all pledge together to make Hindi our daily language, thereby strengthening the unity and integrity of the nation. Heartfelt wishes to all on Hindi Diwas, he said.
At the same time, Khandu emphasised the importance of protecting local languages and traditions. He said that while Hindi helps unite people across the state and the country, it is equally important to preserve and promote tribal mother tongues to safeguard Arunachal’s cultural identity.
Our diversity is our strength. Alongside Hindi, preserving and promoting our mother tongues is essential to safeguarding Arunachal’s cultural identity, he added.
