The Congress President who advocated introducing the Roman script for Hindi while delivering a presidential address was Subhas Chandra Bose. As Congress president at the Haripura session (1938), Bose argued for Hindustani in the Roman script to facilitate wider learning of European languages and to promote communal harmony, acknowledging its immediate unpopularity but urging consideration of long-term benefits. Contemporary accounts of the 1938 Congress record his plea that adopting a Roman script could be the wisest long-term solution and cited Turkey’s script reform as an inspiration for modernization and unification efforts. These sources attribute the specific advocacy of Romanized Hindustani to Bose’s presidential interventions.
