Hindi Diwas is celebrated in India to commemorate the date 14 September 1949 on which a compromise was reached—during the drafting of the Constitution of India—on the languages that were to have official status in the Republic of India.
The compromise, usually called the Munshi-Ayyangar formula, after drafting committee members KM Munshi and N.Gopalaswami Ayyangar, was voted by the Constituent Assembly of India after three years of debate between two opposing camps.
