The land for the secretariat was provided by the government of Mauritius while Indian Prime Minister Mr. Modi laid the foundation stone in 2015. The secretariat aims to present Hindi as the language of common man.

External Affairs Ministry gears up for World Hindi Conference

Interestingly, though the World Hindi Secretariat (WHS) supported by India is located in Mauritius, the government of the country does not promote Hindi on its website and nor is the language acknowledged officially. The website mentions English and French as the languages spoken in Mauritius, but leaves out Hindi referring merely to existing ‘Asian languages’.

WHS will be the organising authority of the event.

‘Unproductive event’

Leading literary voices of Hindi have raised doubts about the scope of the upcoming conference saying the event might end up as a public relations exercise in view of the 2019 election and urged the MEA to use the opportunity to support genuine scholars of Hindi.

“These Hindi sammelans over the years have been reduced to a meeting of old friends. This trend remains unchanged irrespective of the party in power in Delhi,” said Purushottam Aggarwal, Hindi scholar and author of Padmavat: An epic love story. “I have not been impressed by the outcome of these Hindi conferences so far. Wonder what new elements the government plans this year,” said Dr. Aggarwal.

Over the last few decades the event has been held both in India and abroad but it has failed to reinvent itself, said noted literary figure Ashok Vajpeyi.

Ill-conceived: Vajpeyi

“The world Hindi conference has become an ill-conceived, ill-organised chaotic event. It is a fair without any intellectual and linguistic rigour and direction. The event has become unbecoming of both Hindi and India,” Mr. Vajpeyi said.

As part of the preparation, regular official visits to Port Louis have been taking place over the last few months including one by Secretary in charge of eastern affairs of MEA, Preeti Saran. During last week’s trip to South Africa, Ms. Swaraj stopped by at Port Louis to inspect the work herself. Sources say that special focus of this year’s event will be on Bollywood and the global reach of Hindi through movies.

As Cambodia is a Buddhist country, I hope they had a session on Tamils killing, bombing and slaughtering Buddhists - both in ancient history and in the recent past.

LOL @ Lankan Theravada Buddhist terrorist stirring shit. Buddhist Talibans have a history of killing natives (read yakkas, Veddas) , Muslims (Thailand/Myanmar/Lanka) , Tamils (Lanka) and Christians (Lanka, Myanmar ) etc
