Explanation:

The Hindi Language movement started in the hindi-speaking region of Punjab in 1957 as a response to the decision of Punjab government to make Punjabi the official language of Punjab. It also declared Punjabi to be mandatory language in all the schools of the state. That enraged the Hindi-speaking people of the state and they launched the said movement to proclaim Hindi as their mother tongue and opposed the imposition of Punjabi upon them.
