Importance of Hindi in the global context: World Hindi Day (Vishwa Hindi Diwas)
With the social media boom, globalization and development in the IT sector, there has been a high rise in the consumption of content in local languages. This has given rise to a variety of opportunities for language experts. With more than 60 to 70% of the Indian population speaking Hindi and the rise of the Indian economy, there has also been a rise in purchasing power of common men who generally speak in their local languages.
Unlike other countries, in India consumers are not very sensitive to their mother tongues and therefore local as well as international companies provide their product descriptions in English. This results in the systematic exclusion of local languages from the majority of the population in India. This further adds value to the dominance of English in India among the common masses.
While celebrating Vishwa Hindi Divas we should be conscious of these facts and understand that there are some global players and monopolizers who not only monopolise the economy but also monopolise our thoughts by imposing English and their hidden agenda through our languages and culture.
On this World Hindi Day, we would like to discuss certain key issues that make Hindi a global language but it certainly has a large number of challenges that we can only see when we do a little deeper research into the global language system where it is not the only economy that makes it powerful but it is also the language which acts as a tool to manipulate our mind and make us close to the slavery of powerful countries.
We should celebrate World Hindi Day with joy, hoping that the people of India will integrate Hindi and other languages not only in their daily life but also in education, research, media, IT and business aspects. Being multilingual is the culture of our country, but Hindi, which is spoken by more than 70% of the people of India, should also be given equal respect.

Professional development workshop for Translators and language professionals, Oct 31, 2015
Given that the Internet boom has made Globalization phenomenon a reality. The nations of the world have been unified through it and it has virtually dissolved cultural and racial boundaries. People of different languages are now able to communicate effectively, as the language barrier does not exist in the internet. This has been made possible by language translation, which has made internet content universal and comprehensible to an unlimited number of people. That is why the demand for translators online is rapidly increasing. A huge number of websites now search for skilled translators to increase and improve their visibility and traffic in the internet world.
