Hindi is the official language and most commonly spoken language in 10 states and Union Territories of India. A translation of the Kural in Hindi can reach more than 52 crores of people. Being India’s official language of communication between states, Hindi has obviously attracted the greatest number of translations among all north Indian lan- guages. Surprisingly many of these translations are in verse! Next to Malayalam, Hindi has seen the maximum number of translations in an Indian language. As of January 2024, at least 23 translations of the Kural in Hindi could be recorded, just falling short of 4 translations of Malayalam. These are the known figures and a closer and thorough search for transla- tions not known to us might reveal a neck-to-neck race for the top place between the two languages. The first translation in Hindi was probably that of Kshemanand Rakat, published in 1924.
