Abstract
The place of Hindi in India since its overture has remained divisive and especially in the post freedom era. Earlier the large portion of people uses Hindi and there braches such as Avadhi, Bhojpuri etc. The Hindu saints like Tulasidas, Kabir, Surdas endeavored to restore and revitalize the Hindu culture, they therefore provided the use of the Hindi language as a means of representation of culture, and hence sanskritised Hindi got accepted widely, not only among the people of northern India, but also among the non-Hindi regions of non-south like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bengal, Orissa, etc., thus Hindi became a connecting language. Through this research, researcher will try to analyze the various issues and challenges faced for one nation one language. “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”
