Jawhar Sircar’s supplementary question during #QuestionHour on the status of the demand for making 10 languages part of the Eighth Schedule as independent languages
Sir, I would like to ask the hon. Minister whether in addition to 22 languages in the Eighth Schedule, these languages — Bhojpuri, Bundelkhandi, Chhattisgarhi, Garhwali-Pahari, Gondi, KumaoniPahari, Magahi, Pahari-Himachali, Rajasthani and Shauraseni — have also petitioned repeatedly to be in the Eighth Schedule. These ten languages have repeatedly petitioned that they should be considered as independent languages, not as Hindi. In other words, they would willingly like to leave the Hindi Official language family. Is it correct, ‘Yes’ or ‘No’?
