“If English isn't a threat to regional languages, why is Hindi? It's time to stop the hypocrisy and acknowledge Hindi's role in national unity,” came from another.

“Hindi is our common language. Let's stop the divide and speak Hindi,” wrote another user while sharing a video clip of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman speaking about getting mocked for trying to learn Hindi.

“If you love India, why resist Hindi? It's not about North vs. South; it's about national unity,” remarked another.

“Let's not let language politics create rifts. Hindi is the language that connects every Bharatiya,” wrote another user.

Ironically, many social media users are using the hashtag while referring to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti. The iconic king of the Bhonsle dynasty promoted the use of Marathi in his court and administration, replacing Persian, the common courtly language at the time.

However, not everyone is using the hashtag to speak in favour of Hindi.
