Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius is an island paradise in the Indian Ocean. Its picturesque scenery includes pristine beaches, magnificent coral reefs, and majestic volcanic mountains, making it an unparalleled destination.<\/p>\n

But what sets Mauritius apart is its commitment to preserving its Hindu culture and language, which serves as a shining example to the world in celebrating linguistic diversity.<\/p>\n

Despite its small size, Mauritius exhibits an impressive range of languages that are well-preserved and coexist. The country has successfully retained many ancestral languages, primarily among speakers of Indian origin.<\/p>\n

In daily life, the most commonly spoken languages are Creole (77.3%), Bhojpuri (5.2%), French (4.0%), and Hindi (2.8%), which together represent 89.3% of speakers, that is 1.129 million people. The remaining 10% is a testament to the country\u2019s commitment to linguistic diversity.<\/p>\n

Mauritius: A country of linguistic diversity <\/b><\/p>\n

Despite the challenges of maintaining multiple languages, Mauritius has excelled. The country recognizes the significance of ancestral languages, linked with the unique cultural identity and heritage of the diasporic communities that relocated to Mauritius.<\/p>\n

The 2011 population census identified twelve groups of ancestral languages spoken on the island, including Bhojpuri and Hindi. In Mauritius, these two languages hold immense cultural value and are used in various socio-religious activities, demonstrating the country\u2019s unwavering commitment to preserving its unique identity.<\/p>\n

To this end, schools in Mauritius have robust teaching-learning systems, be they formal or non-formal, ensuring the preservation of their diverse linguistic heritage.<\/p>\n

In Mauritius, though several ancestral languages are not commonly spoken, but they are still used in socio-religious activities and hold a strong affiliation.<\/p>\n

Optional languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Modern Chinese, and Arabic are taught in schools to preserve the country\u2019s multicultural identity.<\/p>\n

Baithka\u0304s: The historical way of promoting Hindi<\/b><\/p>\n

The Republic of Mauritius celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Hindi Pracha\u0304rini Sabha (HPS) in November 2023, which has been instrumental in promoting Hindi with an informal system of teaching-learning through a syndicated chain of Baithka\u0304s.<\/p>\n

The history of Mauritius reminds us of the meaningful role of Baithka\u0304s in today\u2019s progressive and vibrant Mauritius. These traditional gatherings, run under the Sabha\u2019s umbrella, have been instrumental in preserving the country\u2019s Hindi language and culture and promoting multilingualism.<\/p>\n

However, there are also challenges that Baithka\u0304s face in promoting Hindi education. Exploring collaborative efforts with other organizations could be vital to strengthening Hindi education in Mauritius.<\/p>\n

Baithka\u0304s have been the backbone of rural communities for years and have provided a robust platform to discuss various critical issues, including civic rights and health. The name \u201cBaithak\u201d originates from the rural practice of people coming together to share their joys and sorrows.<\/p>\n

Even today, Baithka\u0304s remain relevant and offer a space for people to come together and address the most pressing concerns affecting their communities in Mauritian society.<\/p>\n

Baithaks have played a critical role in Mauritius\u2019 informal education system, particularly the Hindi teaching-learning system, for over a century. They have been providing space for learners of all ages to collaborate and learn.<\/p>\n

Hindi Pracha\u0304rini Sabha: Foundation for Hindi<\/b><\/p>\n

The Hindi Pracha\u0304rini Sabha was originally established as \u2018Teeluck Vidyalaya\u2019 on June 12, 1926. This association has played a vital role in promoting Hindi and Hindi Literature, as well as connecting language with culture.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the efforts of its forefathers, such as Shri Muktaram Boloram Chatterjee and the Mungur brothers, the Hindi Pracha\u0304rini Sabha has become a national institution that has made tremendous contributions towards preserving the richness of Hindi and Hindi Literature.<\/p>\n

For almost a century, the Hindi Pracha\u0304rini Sabha has been making a significant impact on society by offering Hindi classes to both boys and girls. Its legacy has inspired countless learners, educators, and language enthusiasts who are passionate about promoting the Hindi language and Hindu culture on the island.<\/p>\n

The Sabha\u2019s motto, \u201cBhasha Gayi to Sanskriti Gayi,\u201d reminds us of the essential connection between language and culture and how losing one can lead to the loss of the other.<\/p>\n

As Mauritius celebrates its centenary year, it may be worthwhile to revisit the significance of Baithka\u0304s and educate the younger generation about how their forefathers fought hard and made sacrifices for their sustainable identity and cultural existence.<\/p>\n

These struggles not only led to freedom from colonial rule but also shaped the country\u2019s history. The Hindi Pracharin Sabha (HPS) is committed to promoting the Hindi language and literature on the island through its Baithka\u0304s.<\/p>\n

One of the HPS\u2019s primary goals is to establish Hindi schools and develop syllabi, textbooks, and question papers for local exams. The organization is dedicated to supporting teachers and students to achieve academic success by providing the necessary resources and support.<\/p>\n

HPS also hosts national and international conferences, literary competitions, and other events that inspire and engage people of all ages and backgrounds while enhancing the functional aspects of the Hindi language.<\/p>\n

The Sabha offers courses in Hindi through 175 evening schools and weekend schools. The Sabha awards certificates for primary classes (standards I-VI) and the Praveshika Examination.<\/p>\n

Additionally, higher examinations are conducted by the Sabha in collaboration with the Hindi Sahitya Sammelan (Hindi University) of Allahabad, India. The Hindi language and its rich cultural heritage are integral to Mauritius.<\/p>\n

To preserve and promote this language, we must harness the power of advanced technology. However, the emergence of the \u2018Digital Language Divide\u2019 presents a challenge that we must overcome.<\/p>\n

Technology has revolutionized education, made teaching and learning more effective. By digitizing cultural content, we can reach a wider traditional and modern audience and provide access to cultural resources that were once beyond reach.<\/p>\n

To ensure that the Hindi language and culture remain relevant and accessible to future generations, we must embrace technological advancements wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n

Changing Scenario and Hindi <\/b><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s fast-paced world, it is essential to keep up with the ever-changing demands of the workforce. Formal education is no longer sufficient to guarantee continued success.<\/p>\n

This is where upskilling and reskilling come into play. By constantly learning and acquiring new skills, you can stay ahead of the curve and excel in today\u2019s globalized world.<\/p>\n

With the Hindi language gaining significant popularity in the digital space, businesses have a unique opportunity to tap into a potential market interested in digital content and engagement in Hindi.<\/p>\n

Learning Hindi can equip you with the necessary skills to succeed in this space and remain competitive. Baithka\u0304s, under HPS in Mauritius, is an excellent opportunity for anyone who wishes to learn Hindi as an ancestral and business language for the future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s never too late to take advantage of this opportunity and gain an edge in the market. The saying \u201cBhasha Gayi to Sanskriti Gayi\u201d serves as a constant reminder of how language plays a crucial role in preserving a culture.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential to prioritize learning Hindi, as it\u2019s one of the key steps we can take to ensure a vibrant future for the country and its people.<\/p>\n
