I, Shreeram
Vidyarthi for one, a Hindi journalist of some fifty years
standing, entirely oppose on this bastardization of 'Hindi' journalism
being carried out by Bharat's upper-middle-class consumerist society and
their patrons. The move of putting English words in many Hindi magazines
started when the English news magazine INDIA TOAY launched its Hindi
edition under the same title; Then a broad-sheet titled Sunday Observer,
also turned to a Hindi edition without translating the title.
In fact the use of English words started in year 1946. In that year
Times of India brought out its Hindi edition which was named Nav Bharat
Times. At that time no body objected the use of English word Times in
Hindi. This paved the way for flooding the use of English words in Hindi.
Afterwards many media people started using English words in Hindi.
Basically, this cultural fornication is being
conducted for two reasons: One, in order to communicate with the
Anglicised Indian idiot class of people who come out of so-called public
schools (where education is conducted in English Medium). and second,
to convey the consumerist messages of marketing gurus of the advertising
industry, who could not dare to tell Mr. and Mrs. in Hindi some things
related with sex and fun. Bharatiya media wants to tell to average
Bharatiya that Sex is good, sex is fun, and sex is healthy in Hindi, but
find difficult to say openly (because in Hindi the information sounds
ashlil, i.e. obscene and
in English it sound 'educated' and 'enlightened' and intelligent and
mature).....and that all human being were created by God almighty just to
enjoy sex, because nothing else matters in life. To hell with ideals and
values and culture and compassion and consideration or contemplation on
issues of common concerns.
This Anglicised Hindi media is guilty of driving a serious wedge
between the monied, urbanized, upper-middle-class and the poor, rural
working classes of Bharat.
I am committed to
condemning this stupid 'designer Hindi' being flogged by magazines like '
Meri Saheli, Griha-shobha, "Grah Laxmi,' – such women's magazine industry
which is selling nothing but sex and overt, shameless consumption of
nation's resources without any plough-back of sincere and honest human
effort into life of Bharat's civilization and as a
nation. There are other such magazines which use lots of English and
Arabic words: like Hindi India Today, Hindi Sunday observer and many more.
In fact most of the Hindi media people use lots of English, Arabic, Farsi,
Turkish and Urdu words in Hindi.
These
corrupted Hindi media people do not use Common man's pure
Hindi!
You Hindi media people
are doing a great service to us Indo-Americans by presenting the
latest news of India. What disappoints most of us Hindi lovers
of USA is the quality of your Hindi, which is more Arabic, Farsi, Turkish
and Urdu than Hindi. Sometimes the Arabic or Persian words used in your
Hindi are so difficult to understand that we feel like skipping your news
and other programs altogether.
One TV Hindi news says in its slogan "Hakikat Jaisa Khabar Vaisi"
could be "Satyata (or Sachaii) Jaisi Samachaar Vaisa". "Muhaiya
karaya"
could be "upalabdha karaya", and so on. There are many such TV and
radio stations who broadcast such filthy language.
The TV Asia "Hindi Samachaar"
uses crisper and purer Hindi than yours, though it is prepared in the
USA. We will really appreciate it if you could improve your Hindi.
If student
makes a mistake by using improper Hindi, it is pardonable. But
when he becomes a lecturer and repeats that mistake deliberately with the
intention of demolishing that language to please some powers that be or
for some ulterior motives, it is unpardonable. Hindi media people earn their money on the
name of Hindi, but still they keep making mistake and keep using very,
very defective Hindi
But why should Arabic,
Persian, Turkish, and Urdu be used in Hindi?
Once someone who is a
Lecturer in Hindi Language at the London University (an Englishman) came
to give a talk in Manchester. In a discussion I mentioned that in a local
Mandir there is a poster written in Devanagiri: sharaab peekai mandir main
aanaa sakht manaa hai. He said that he goes at least
once a year to Bharat - he has yet to meet anyone who can speak
proper Hindi. He then mentioned that the word that should have been used
is nishaid (in place of manaa).
In Bharat most of the media people
and commercial people ignore Hindi. Most of the commercial people do not
put Hindi on the labels of their products, which are manufactured in
Bharat and to be consumed by Bharatiya people.
People who put English only on the
labels of their products say:
They claim English is the
national link language - while only a tiny proportion speak
it;
They ignore that Hindi is
the national language;
They feel local languages
are important but not the national language;
They think the word like
'taaza', Shurkhiya, tahat, muddha, Sukriya are a Hindi words - Heaven
help!
They say printing labels
in English, giving cast of Hindi film in English is permitted in Bharat by
law - are they claiming that use of Hindi is not permitted by law?
I am of the views that if Hindi
word is available then Hindi word must be used every where. If Hindi word
is not available, only then Urdu or English or any other language word
might be used. Hindi has more words than the combined words in the
dictionaries of English and Urdu words. But Hindi media people do not use
and spread pure Hindi words.
Hindi media people are slave people
and spread mental slavery amongst Hindus. When a Pakistani or Muslim
journalist comes on the air of any Hindi service, almost in 100% cases,
he/she speaks in Urdu. When any Hindi speaking journalist goes on air in
Urdu service, he also speaks in Urdu in stead of speaking in Hindi. But
the problem is that you Hindi media people do not use Hindi words, in
spite of the fact Hindi words are available. You Hindi media do not spread
Hindi words, therefore Hindi words do not become known, familiar and do
not spread.
BBC Hindi service uses so many Urdu
words that sometimes there are more Urdu words than Hindi words in the
Hindi service of BBC. All the journalists of BBC Hindi service are very
poorly qualified from Hindi point of view Due to
lots of Urdu words it is difficult to read and understand BBC Hindi
service website. This BBC Hindi service Website is mostly in Urdu but
written in nagri script.
One does not know who is in charge of BBC
Hindi service, to whose notice the problem of use of defective and impure
Hindi by its staff members be brought
BBC Hindi service must be
overhauled and improved as BBC Hindi service on the name of Hindi; spreads
filth and creates traitors for Hindi. Most of the Hindi media people and
services are like BBC Hindi service.
One cannot understand why you
media people always use words like Muddha, Tahat, Matahat, Faisla,
Mahoul, Daskhat, Kasak, Faiyada, Khreed-Frokht, Munasib, Mutabik, Moka
(sounds like Koka), Hidaaayat, Nateeza, Mukaam, Kabool, Jimmedar,
Aagaaz, Surkhiya,
tahat, Matahat, Muddhe, Taleem etc. What is the point in using such
words in Hindi all the time when proper Hindi words are
available?
There is no end to this list. Are
these Hindi words or there is no Hindi equivalent for these
words?
What is
the problem in using Hindi word when Hindi word is available? You Hindi
media people give the impression to public as if you people are also in
the payroll of some unseen forces to promote Urdu and English in the name
of Hindi. If you media people earn money on the Hindi, then what is the
problem in speaking proper Hindi?
Most of the Hindi media are traitors
to Hindi as you Hindi media people justify the use of Urdu and
English words in Hindi on one excuse or the other.
Learn
Arabic and see how many foreign words are used in that language. I listen
that program for hours (although I do not understand that language) but I
never hear any English word in that program. You watch Arabic program on
TV, even after watching for several hours, one would not find even a
single word written in English.
Please always use Hindi words in
Hindi, if Hindi word is available.
Hindi is not a vast
ocean, where you can put as much filth and garbage as any body likes
or traitorous media people like to put
Some of you shameless
anti Hindu anti Bharat Hindi media people say that you are fighting for
common language while Hindi lovers are fighting for correct and pure
Hindi.
It shows the bankruptcy of you media people knowledge. What is
wrong for fighting for correct Hindi?
What is common man's
language? Is it to put filth in the language? When a
language has got its own proper words then what is the validity for
using words from another language? When a language does not have its own
word, then another language word might be used Do you Hindi media people
use common man's word? You have used in your Hindi service many times
"Khabroe ka Aagaaz". Is Aagaaz common man's word? One does never hear this
word very often. Do not the people who do not understand such words come
under the category of common man?
You Hindi media people
first put filth in Hindi language then call it common man's language. How
you Hindi media people know what common man's language is?
How many English words
you use in German then say we are using common man's words?
You people first put Urdu
and English words, then call it common man's language. What is the need of
putting Urdu and English words in Hindi?
Do you know Hindi has so many words, that if you combine Urdu and
English dictionaries, then the amount of Hindi words is more? But you
people never use proper Hindi words and make them popular all the time.
You media people cover
your ignorance by using filth in Hindi then call it common man's
language.
You Hindi media people do
not do your job properly and some of you people are unworthy of
the job in Hindi services.
