For us, Hindi is not just a language of employment but a part of life: Pankaj Tripathi

Patna, September 28: (ABN) Renowned film actor Pankaj Tripathi, while giving a message to the youth to stay connected to their roots and identity, said that "one should never leave one's origin, because the more local you become, the more global you become." Grievance mentality also hinders progress. He was addressing a special function organized under Hindi Pakhwada at Khuda Baksh Oriental Public Library, Patna on Monday. Apart from Pankaj Tripathi, Dean of Aryabhat Knowledge University Prof. Gyandev Mani Tripathi and Director of SCERT, Patna, Shri Yatendra Kumar Pal, IAS, were present on the occasion.
Talking about his Bhojpuri identity, Pankaj Tripathi said that the flavor of Bhojpuri in his conversation is part of his identity and dignity. انہوں نے کہا کہ ان کی ہمیشہ خواہش رہتی ہے کہ ’’جس کمرے میں میں داخل ہوں، مجھ سے پہلے بہار داخل ہو جائے۔‘‘ انہوں نے کہا کہ فلمی دنیا سے وابستہ ہونے کے باوجود کتابوں اور لوک فنون سے ان کا گہرا تعلق ہے اور انہیں ایسی جگہوں پر جانا پسند ہے جہاں کتابیں موجود ہوں یا لوک فنون کی محفلیں سجتی ہوں۔ہندی کے حوالے سے انہوں نے کہا کہ اداکاری کی بنیاد کتابوں سے جڑی ہوئی ہے۔ Films are usually scripted in Roman script, but reading Hindi in Roman doesn't evoke the emotion that comes out of reading it in Devanagari. That is why they prefer to have their script in Devanagari script. According to him, Hindi is not just a language of employment for him but a part of his life and a means of expressing emotions. Discussing the identity of Bihar, Pankaj Tripathi said that despite the low literacy rate of the state, a large number of IAS and IPS officers in the country come from Bihar. In such a situation, why should Bihar be identified only as a state of workers, this question deserves consideration. انہوں نے کہا کہ سب کو مل کر بہار پر لگے اس ٹیگ کو بدلنے کی کوشش کرنی چاہیے۔
On this occasion, Director of Khuda Baksh Library Prof. Muhammad Zahidul Haque welcomed the guests and said that the main purpose of celebrating Hindi Pakhwada is to promote the use of easy and common Hindi in government offices and public level. He said that to make Hindi popular, it is important to use simple language instead of difficult words. One of the main objectives of Khuda Baksh Library is to bring the readers of Hindi closer to Urdu and the readers of Urdu to Hindi.
Prof. Gyandev Mani Tripathi, Shri Yatendra Kumar Pal and Prof. Safdar Imam Qadri also addressed the function. Speakers emphasized on making Hindi universal and said that the use of unnecessarily difficult Sanskrit words in the language should be avoided. In the same way, to make Urdu easy to understand, it is necessary to avoid the unnecessary use of heavy Arabic and Persian words. انہوں نے کہا کہ دو زبانوں کے امتزاج سے اگر کوئی آسان اور بامعنی لفظ وجود میں آتا ہے تو اسے قبول کرنے میں کوئی قباحت نہیں۔
The library hall was packed to hear Pankaj Tripathi at the event. The youth seemed very excited to hear their favorite actor and his speech was greeted with repeated applause. At the end, the audience bid him farewell with hearty applause. Dr. Muhammad Zakir Hussain performed the administrative duties.
