ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE?
We are, the International Hindi Association (IHA) or Antarashtriya Hindi Samiti, a premier institution of Indian culture & studies, established in 1980 in the United States of America to preserve and promote India’s culture through language and literature among Indians abroad. Hindi education is on the forefront of our agenda. It is to help younger generation learn the culture of India inherent in its literature and beliefs. We publish a widely acclaimed quarterly magazine Vishwa with a worldwide circulation to over 53 countries, and organize annual kavi-sammelans (poetry symposiums), seminars, conferences, and youth-camps with cultural and literary activities. The annual marathon kavi-sammelans around the US and Canada with famous Hindi poets have been the hallmark of our increasing popularity. Past years have seen the likes of Kaka Hathrasi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Neeraj, Hullad Muradabadi, Surendra Sharma, Ashok Chakradhar, Som Thakur and Kunwar Bechain, among others. We are a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit lingo-cultural organization with Chapters throughout the United States and abroad. For broader community outreach, we continually collaborate with socially aware organizations, educational institutions, and government bodies. We are happy that you are visiting Hindi.org.
