New Delhi:
The Hindi media should use simpler words to reach out to the
non-Hindi speaking population, Information and Broadcasting
Minister Ambika Soni said Tuesday.
"Some papers use very difficult Hindi words which cannot be
understood by those who don't have Hindi as their mother tongue,"
Soni said while participating in a seminar on the Hindi media on
the occasion of 'Hindi Divas'.
Union Public Service Comission (UPSC) board member Purushottam
Agarwal, CNN-IBN chief editor Rajdeep Sardesai, writer Namwar
Singh, Hindi expert of Spanish origin Oscar Pujol, poet Ashok
Chakradhar and editor and publisher of Hindi newspaper Dainik
Bhaskar Ramesh Chandra Agarwal, among others, participated in the
event.
While Namwar Singh expressed apprehensions about the increased mix
of languages used in the media, Pujol found colonialism the reason
for continuing supremacy of English. Purushottam Agarwal,
meanwhile, stressed on increasing knowledge literature in the
language.
Hindi Divas is celebrated Sep 14 to mark the day in 1949 the
Constituent Assembly adopted Hindi as the national language.
