Hindi Text of the Constitution

Hindi Text of the Indian Constitution

Background

  • The original Constitution of India (1950) was written in English.
  • No official Hindi version existed until the 58th Constitutional Amendment Act (1987) introduced Article 394-A, authorizing an authoritative Hindi text.

Key Provisions of Article 394-A

  1. President’s Role:
    • The President publishes the official Hindi translation of the Constitution.
    • The Hindi text must align with:
      • Legal terminology used in Central Acts (laws) written in Hindi.
      • All Constitutional amendments passed before the translation.
  2. Legal Status:
    • The Hindi version has the same legal authority as the English original.
    • If there’s a conflict in interpretation, the English text prevails, and the President can revise the Hindi version to resolve discrepancies.
  3. Amendments:
    • Every Constitutional amendment passed in English must also be translated into Hindi and published under the President’s authority.

Why This Matters

  • Accessibility: Makes the Constitution accessible to Hindi-speaking citizens.
  • Uniformity: Ensures legal terms in Hindi match those used in other Central laws, avoiding confusion.
  • Cultural Significance: Promotes Hindi as an official language while respecting India’s multilingual diversity.

Fun Fact

  • The original Hindi version of the Constitution was beautifully calligraphed by Vasant Krishan Vaidya and decorated by artists like Nand Lal Bose.

Takeaway:
The 58th Amendment ensured the Constitution is both a legal and cultural document, bridging India’s linguistic diversity while maintaining legal precision. 🌟
