New Delhi: On the occasion of World Hindi Day on Friday, (January 10), Zee News editor-in-chief Sudhir Chaudhary, in his popular show DNA, had asked if the viewers could speak Hindi in a flow without using any other language in between. His challenge was received with overwhelming enthusiasm as several people used the hashtags World Hindi Day and Vishwa Hindi Diwas to post videos of themselves speaking in Hindi.

Every year, January 10 is observed as World Hindi Day, the objective is to promote the use of Hindi language abroad. The first conference on Hindi was held from 10 to 12 January 1975 in Nagpur to promote the language worldwide. Since then, January 10 is being observed as World Hindi Day.

Since morning today, Twitter users have been using the #WorldHindiDay and made it one of the top trending hashtags on the micro-blogging platform. 

A user on Twitter wrote, "Hearty congratulations and best wishes to all the people of India, World Hindi Day."

"Oxford Dictionary included words like `Bada Din`, (big day) `Acha`, (Good) `Bacha` (Child) and `Surya Namaskar` in 2017. It represents the importance and acceptance of Hindi", added another.
