Appointments at the Hindi Urdu Academy are no longer ceremonial—they’re statements of purpose. The Academy’s latest national-level appointments reflect a clear shift: language and culture are not to be preserved in conference halls alone, but carried into everyday life through people rooted in the ground realities of society. In a bold and deliberate move, the Academy has named three respected individuals—Mohammad Haider Imam Ansari, Ghulam Rabani, and Mohammad Waliullah Qadri—to top leadership positions. Each of these appointments isn’t just about titles; it’s about entrusting vision to those who’ve already proved themselves in the field.
Let’s start with Mohammad Haider Imam Ansari, a native of Darbhanga, Bihar, currently serving as the Officer-in-Charge of the Urdu Language Cell in East Champaran, Motihari. He has now been appointed All India General Secretary of the Academy. This role puts him at the center of all national and international strategic planning, administration, and execution. What sets Ansari apart is not just his deep understanding of linguistics or culture, but his ability to align them with India’s pluralistic identity on a global stage. His appointment reflects a larger vision that sees language not merely as a communication tool, but as the soul of civilization.
Next is Ghulam Rabani from Muzaffarpur, Bihar—a committed translator at the District Magistrate’s office in Motihari. The Academy has appointed him as the Bihar State General Secretary, also entrusting him with administrative charge of four key districts: Muzaffarpur, Motihari, Sheohar, and Sitamarhi. This move is not about expanding bureaucracy. It’s about giving a platform to the quiet, committed foot soldiers of language preservation. His new responsibilities include forming district-level committees and establishing a localized structure to promote Urdu at the grassroots. His appointment is proof that the Academy sees potential where others see obscurity.
The third major appointment is that of Mohammad Waliullah Qadri, a distinguished scholar and educator from East Champaran. He now serves as Vice Chairman of Bihar State and In-charge of the Saran Division. A graduate of traditional Islamic scholarship (Dars-e-Nizami), with a specialization in Fiqh, and holding an MA and B.Ed in Urdu alongside a PhD from Magadh University, Qadri is as comfortable in classical theology as he is in modern critical discourse. A teacher by profession and honorary Qazi associated with Idara-e-Shariah, Patna, he brings with him not just academic depth but also ethical credibility. His books, ranging from “Ilm-e-Deen Ki Fazilat” to “Fatawa-e-Makhdoomiya”, span religion, criticism, and literary analysis. His appointment signals a deeper shift—where intellectual leadership is no longer sidelined but placed at the helm of organizational strategy.
Hindi Urdu Academy Secretary, Dr. Mohammad Farooque, congratulated all three appointees and expressed confidence in their ability to drive the Academy’s mission forward. “Language and culture are not decorative ideas. They need actionable planning, grounded leadership, and a constant sense of purpose. These three men represent all of that—and more,” he said.
In the end, these appointments are not just administrative reshuffles. They are a deliberate reorientation of priorities. The Hindi Urdu Academy has made one thing clear: the path forward lies not in symbolic presence, but in active, regional, and intellectual engagement. Language. Culture. Leadership. On the ground. In motion. That’s the plan.
