Hindi has strayed from many times, many reforms, and today it is alive with its own technology. If we look at history, then everyone’s perceptions of Hindi are different. Based on certain languages with some political influence. Actually, Hindi has evolved from the Sanskrit language. There are many words in Hindi which are derived from the Sanskrit dialect and there are some words that are similar to the language of Portugal. However, in India, we call that language as Hindustani language, which is a conference of both Hindi and Urdu. Examples: Table and shirt.
The Hindi language is written in Devanagari script, in which Sanskrit is seen most. When Hindi is spoken in India, we cannot keep it separate from Urdu. Hindi and Urdu are two brinjals of the same plate. In the language of a common language, neither can we use typical Hindi nor can we use Urdu. Where both meet, the matter is understood there.

Nepal, Mauritius, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Fiji, etc.
After the independence of India, the Hindi language was absorbed in many ways, after which Hindi was largely confined to Hindustan only, but language and literature can never be confined to one place. The won example of this sentence is both Hindi language and Urdu Zuban. While there is a bitter truth that in India, from where Hindi developed, the Hindi language is being seen inferiorly, those speaking the Hindi language are being underestimated.
For Indians, Hindi has become like a first love from which people learn a lot, understand a lot but due to some apprehension and bad influence, they do not want to speak it.
But, just as there are two sides to the coin, in the same way, there are many people alive here who keep Hindi alive and use Hindi with love.
