Hindi Manch invites all to its first ever virtual AntarRashtriya Mahotsav on October 9, 10, and 11. The event is truly international and is expected to have a turnout of over 100,000 online viewers globally. Community volunteers at Hindi Manch have put together an impressive event where Indian expatriates from different countries will join together to celebrate Hindi language in literary works, plays, music and youth programs.

Preetesh Shrivastava, Founder and President of the organization, impressed on the fact that such a grand show with international participants and celebrities has never been attempted in the past by a community group in a virtual format.  Hindi Manch had hosted several virtual events this summer where the total online viewership crossed 75,000. It is that experience, along with their learnings from their 2018 Rashtriya Mahotsav that has energized the entire team to put together this event with participants from 12 countries and several states in the US.

Each day of the event will showcase the use of Hindi in musical, theatrical and literary arts.  Hindi Manch Sangeet Vibhag has chosen singers from 10 countries who will entertain and win your hearts.  Well known Hindi theater groups from around the world will showcase their plays.  And its Sahitya Vibhag will host a Kavi Sammelan with writers and poets from 8 countries as well as renowned poets from India to recite their works. Children and teens from Boston area and across the US will participate in educational and entertaining programs organized by Baal Yuva Vibhag.  Several Bollywood artists will also perform and join in for conversations.  Few honorable ministers from Government of India and Mr. Randhir Jaiswal, the Consul General of India from New York, will connect with everyone in the event as well.

Embracing their performing arts has always been an important part of every “global Indian”.  It helps them reconceptualize their own identity apart from the stereotyping they face in their new countries that influences their relationship to their heritage and with each other.  This AntarRashtriya Mahotsav is a community event that will connect us with Hindi lovers in communities globally.  All while sitting in the comfort of their living rooms.  And the best part is that the event will be completely FREE!  Hindi Manch reminds all of you to please mark October 9, 10, and 11 on your calendars.  Please visit HindiManch.org for more details.
