About The Book: This book, "A Grammar of the Hindi Language," explores the linguistic dynamics of India, with a specific focus on Hindi, a language spoken by a substantial segment of the population. With an estimated sixty to seventy million speakers, Hindi dominates regions like Benares, Allahabad, Mathura, and the Himalayan mountains. Despite Urdu's prevalence in urban centers and governmental institutions, the book underscores the importance of prioritizing the study of Hindi, particularly due to its widespread use among Hindus. It challenges the misconception that Urdu and Hindi are essentially interchangeable, elucidating grammatical distinctions through comprehensive tables. The author disputes the idea that replacing Arabic and Persian terms with Sanskrit can authentically convert Urdu into Hindi. The villagers' lack of familiarity with specific Sanskrit terms underscores the profound grammatical differences between Hindi and Urdu, extending beyond mere disparities in vocabulary.
