Two Rowdies To Address 50K Indo Americans in”Howdi Modi” at Houston

[Washington]Two Rowdies To Address 50K Indo Americans in”Howdi Modi” at Houston
Leaders Of Two Largest Democracies To Address 50K Indo Americans
at Houston’s mega “Howdy, Modi!” event on September 22
This is for the first time in recent history that the leaders of the two largest democracies Donald J Trump and Narendra Modi would be addressing a joint rally anywhere in the world.
More than 50,000 Indian-Americans from across the US have registered for the September 22 mega “Howdy, Modi! Shared Dreams, Bright Futures” event to be held at the sprawling NRG Stadium in Houston.
“Howdy”, short for ‘How do you do?’, is a friendly greeting commonly used in southwestern United States.
This would be the third meeting between the two leaders this year. The previous two were on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in June in Japan and in France in July on the sidelines of the G7 Summit.
In October 2016, Trump, then as Republican presidential nominee, had addressed a strong crowd of some 5,000 Indian-Americans in New Jersey, a few weeks away from his historic win in the November 2016 elections.
So far, Trump is the only presidential candidate to address the Indian-Americans solely during an election year. In his address, Trump had said that if elected, he would be the best friend of India in the White House.
The Houston event will be Modi’s third major address to the Indian-American community after he became the prime minister in 2014 and the first after his re-election in May.
The previous two were at the Madison Square Garden in New York in 2014 and the Silicon Valley in 2016. Both the events were attended by more than 20,000 people.
The “Howdy, Modi!” event is being organised by non-profit Texas India Forum, a recently-formed representative body of hundreds of Indian American organisations in Texas and other parts of the US.

हिंदी राजभाषा है !हिंदी राष्ट्रभाषा कब होगी??

(नयी दिल्ली ) हिंदी राजभाषा है !हिंदी राष्ट्रभाषा कब होगी??
1949 को हिंदी को बेशक राजभाषा का दर्जा मिला और वर्तमान सरकार के कार्यकाल में इसे वास्तविक आधिकारिक रूप मिल चुका है लेकिन अभी भी राष्ट्रभाषा का दर्जा अपेक्षित है
14 सितंबर 1949 को संविधान सभा द्वारा हिंदी को राजभाषा का दर्जा दिया गया। हिंदी को देश की राजभाषा घोषित किए जाने के दिन ही हर साल हिंदी दिवस मनाने का भी फैसला किया गया,काव्य गोष्ठियों का आयोजन होने लगा |सरकारी कार्यालयों में हिंदी दिवस मनाने के बजट भी दिए जाने लगे लेकिन राष्ट्रभाषा का दर्जा देने को कोई 7 दशकों में हौंसला नही जुटा पाया
हालांकि पहला हिंदी दिवस 14 सितंबर 1953 को मनाया गया।लेकिन राजभाषा हिंदी को 7वें दशक में भी राष्ट्रभाषा नही बनाया जा सका
शुरू में हिंदी और अंग्रेजी दोनो को नए राष्ट्र की भाषा चुना गया और संविधान सभा ने देवनागरी लिपि वाली हिंदी के साथ ही अंग्रेजी को भी आधिकारिक भाषा के रूप में स्वीकार किया
लेकिन बहुत सी बोलियों और भाषाओं वाले हमारे देश में आजादी के बाद भाषा को लेकर एक बड़ा सवाल आ खड़ा हुआ।शायद इसीलिए हिंदी को पूर्णतया राष्ट्रभाषा का दर्जा नही मिला
अब प्रधानमंत्री नरेन्द्रमोदी ने संयुक्त राष्ट्र और अन्य विकसित देशों में उनके राष्ट्राध्यक्षों से हिंदी में वार्तालाप किये तो राष्ट्रपति रामनाथ कोविंद ने भी स्विट्ज़र लैंड के बर्न विश्विद्यालय में हिंदी में ही भाषण देकर हिंदी को अंतराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर स्थापित करने में सफलता पाई लेकिन एक अंतिम पड़ाव अभी भी पार करना शेष है
