MP Protests 'Systemic Discrimination' Against Nepali Language
Raju Bista, a member of parliament, is upset because he feels people are being mean to the Nepali language.
He pointed out two examples: a judge who didn't like Nepali being spoken, and a student who thought only Hindi or English should be used in class.
Bista says this is unfair because Nepali is an official language in India and Gorkhas have helped the country a lot.
He wants people to stop treating Nepali like it's not important.
Darjeeling MP Raju Bista protested against alleged discrimination against the Nepali language.
A Judicial Magistrate in Mungpoo Court reportedly criticized a lawyer for speaking Nepali.
A Sikkim University scholar allegedly stated only Hindi or English should be used in classrooms.
Bista highlighted the upcoming Nepali/Gorkha Bhasa Manyata Diwas.
