Promotion and increased use of Hindi help people communicate with a common national voice despite the country's wide diversity, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on July 3.
Addressing a meeting of 'Hindi Salahkar Samiti' here, Mr. Mandaviya said it is important to understand the primacy of the national language.
"It provides a platform for our expression and also provides a bridge for national oneness and unit. We may use our regional languages but we should respect Hindi as the national language. Let us all use Hindi as a language that helps us shape our national character," he said.
