World Hindi conference in Bhopal
The 10th World Hindi Conference in Bhopal saw a conflict of sorts, perhaps
inadvertently, between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union external affairs
minister Sushma Swaraj, as suggested by their speeches during the inauguration of
the conference by the PM.
Even as Sushma Swaraj expressed her concern over English's growing effect on Hindi,
the PM's speech was liberally peppered with English words.
During the inauguration session, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, her deputy
VK Singh and chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan made efforts to use pure Hindi
words in their speeches even if they found some words difficult to pronounce.
Sushma Swaraj said, "I am pained to say that today, not only do we have to think of
promotion (Sanvardhan) of Hindi but also its protection (Sanrakshan). The way
English's growing effect is reflected in Hindi, the language is losing its identity
(Asmita)."
Sushma Swaraj who consciously chose to stick to Hindi words, accidentally used
English word 'report' once after mentioning 'rapat' (the Hindi word for report) at
least twice. However, she corrected herself and stuck to Hindi.
However, when the Prime Minister Narendra Modi rose to speak, he used English
words several times in his speech. The English words that his speech featured included
'agencies', 'Gandhian', 'stethoscope', 'thermometer', 'drainage', 'electrifying effect'
'secretariat', 'dictionary', 'Russia', 'Russian', 'requirement' 'technology', 'acknowledge',
'aspiration', 'values', 'digital world', 'message', 'convey', 'software', 'expert', 'app',
'market', 'modern', 'exclusive', 'inclusive', 'mobile phone', 'contact list' etc.
The PM's frequent use of English words appeared to be in sync with the message he
imparted through his speech on Hindi language, in which he stressed the need for
organising workshops in Hindi and other Indian languages and including words
from them in Hindi.
Modi, however, didn't talk of assimilating foreign languages in Hindi, but his speech
sent out a message that Hindi needed to be made flexible.

Taiwan might Elect Its First Woman as President
The people of Taiwan appear poised to elect their first female president. Two of the
three leading candidates in the January election, including the nominees of both
major parties, are women.
Women have led other Asian nations, but they have largely followed in the footsteps
of male relatives. Not in this case. Rather, analysts say, the race reflects the fact that
Taiwan does a better job of putting women into political office than just about
anywhere else in the world.
The front-runner in the current campaign is Tsai Ing-wen, 59, of the opposition
Democratic Progressive Party. She lost her first bid for the presidency in 2012, but
has maintained a strong lead in polls this time. Her chief contender, from the longpowerful Kuomintang, or Nationalist Party, is Hung Hsiu-chu, 67, the vice president
of Taiwans legislature.
The contest contrasts sharply with the situation scarcely more than 100 miles away
in mainland China, which considers the self-ruled Taiwan part of its territory.
The mainland has had a dearth of female leaders despite a Communist Party ideology
that emphasizes the importance of women to society. Only two of the countrys 25
Politburo members are women, and none has reached the top echelon of political
power, the Politburo Standing Committee.
