DD Educational Telecasts 😊 [Our 90s Version of YouTube and TedTalks]
14th September 1995
[This day, 30 years ago, from my personal diary entry]
Happy Hindi Diwas ❤️
#memoriesfromdiaries
This day, also happens to be Hindi Diwas, the day when the Constituent Assembly of India officially adopted Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, as the official language of the Union in the year 1949.
Interestingly, Ramdhari Singh “Dinkar”, a revered Hindi poet was born today.
He is also called the “Rashtrakavi” or “National Poet” of India for his powerful nationalist poems.
His powerful and inspiring poetry played a significant role during the Indian independence struggle. It’s such a sheer coincidence that, his birthday today, also has an interesting connection to Hindi Diwas (Hindi Day) in India.
Added, on this particular day, in the year 1995, the jumbo cabinet of Mr. Narasimha Rao was further expanded to 67, with the addition of 13 more ministers.
We had Kalvi Oliparappu – Educational telecast on Doordarshan – where I watched the lecture on the topic of Ani Ilakkanam – [Rhetoric and Figures of Speech] our own version and only version of YouTube and TedTalks back then! 😉
So what pray, is Ani Ilakkanam?
Ani (அணி) means “beauty” or “decoration.” Hence, Ani Ilakkanam is the part of Tamil grammar that deals with the decorative and beautiful aspects of language, specifically the rules and principles governing the use of figures of speech to enhance the meaning and aesthetic appeal of a text, particularly in poetry.
