Constitution of India Released in Santhali
The Constitution of India was released in the Santhali language, written in Ol Chiki script.
This is a big deal because it includes the Santhali people, who are one of the largest tribes in India.
Before this, the Santhali language was not officially recognized until 2003.
President Droupadi Murmu played a big role in getting this recognition.
A long time ago, a leader named Jaipal Singh Munda also fought for tribal languages to be recognized.
This shows how important language is in shaping culture and politics.
The Constitution of India was released in the Santhali language, written in Ol Chiki script.
This release promotes inclusion and recognition of tribal languages and identities.
The Santhals are the third-largest tribe in India with a population of over 7 million.
Santhali language was included in Schedule VIII in 2003, partly due to Droupadi Murmu's efforts.
Jaipal Singh Munda, an Adivasi member of the Constituent Assembly, advocated for tribal language recognition.
