Hindi Day is an annual day observed on 14 September in hindi speaking states of India to celebrate the adoption of Hindi as one of the official languages of India.

Hindi was adopted as one of the two official languages of the Republic of India by Constituent Assembly of India thanks to the efforts of Beohar Rajendra Simha along with Hazari Prasad Dwivedi, Kaka Kalelkar, Maithili Sharan Gupt and Seth Govind Das.

As such, on the 50th birthday of Beohar Rajendra Simha on the 14th of September 1949, the efforts came to fruition following the adoption of Hindi as an official language. This decision was ratified by the Constitution of India that came into effect on the 26th of January 1950. Under Article 343 of the Indian Constitution, Hindi written in Devanagari script (a script that is used by over 120 languages) was adopted as the official language. In all, there are 22 scheduled languages of India of which two are officially used at Union level: Hindi and English. Hindi and related languages is spoken by more than 322 million L1 speakers and 270 million L2 speakers.
