India is a nation full of diversities, it has many languages, but many of them are napoo today. ‘First preference to mother tongue and then the Nation Language.’ If there can be a national animal, national bird, and national currency in our country, then why is not the national language yet declared? ” Vijaykumar Jain, senior journalist and editor said
