Mizoram Hindi Teachers ‘Nahi’ To Roman Scripts

hindi-alphibets mizoramAizawl, Aug 20 : The Mizoram Middle School Hindi Teachers Association today strongly objected to the inclusion of Roman scripts in the Hindi text books for class V and X in Mizoram schools, being prepared by the Mizoram Board of School Education.

The Hindi teachers said in a press statement Roman scripts were being included in the text books to make it easier for the students to learn the pronunciation.

However, the Hindi teachers termed this method as a defilement of the beautiful Indian national language. We are strongly against the inclusion of Roman scripts which would prevent the students from correctly pronouncing Hindi words.

We want the students to master Devanagiri scripts in writing and pronunciation, the communiqué said.

A council meeting of the Mizoram Middle School Hindi Teachers Association on August 17 decided to abstain from the preparation of the Hindi textbooks unless the decision to include Roman scripts was withdrawn, the statement said.
