New Delhi: Several scholars from the country's former diplomat, Ambassador Hindi, have demanded the Government of India to intervene in the matter of discontinuing Hindi studies at The Busan Foreign Language University in South Korea. The external affairs ministry has been requested to talk to the South Korean government on the matter.
The letter says that in South Korea, there is a deep struggle of Korean students and teachers against the efforts to remove the Hindi being taught for the last 37 years at the Boosan Foreign Language University, Busan, from the next session (2021). The letter says that a misleading plea behind the removal of Hindi is that the presence of English is much wider than Hindi in India. Dr. Son Yon Wu, an assistant professor who is studying Hindi there, is being pressured to sign a new course paper that would end the domination of Hindi and Hindi.
Citing cultural ties, universities in South Korea have been requested to continue their studies in Hindi. Among the appeals are former Foreign Secretary Shashank, Vibhutinarayan Rai, former Vice-Chancellor, Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University, Wardha, Ashok Kumar Sharma, former ambassador, Mamta Kalia, senior literators, Prof. Kamal Kishore Goenka, former vice president, Central Hindi Institute, Agra, Prof. Divik Ramesh, former visiting Acharya (ICCR), Hindi, Hanguk Foreign Language University, etc.
