Amit Shah Advocates for Indian Languages Over English

A Call to Embrace Native Languages

In the midst of a language controversy, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has taken a bold stance, suggesting that soon, those who speak English in India may feel embarrassed. During a book launch event, he emphasized the importance of indigenous languages, asserting that they should take precedence over foreign tongues. Shah expressed his belief that a society where English speakers feel shame is not far off, stating, 'Our languages are the jewels of our culture. Without our languages, we cannot truly be Indians.'

Literature as the Soul of Society

While addressing the launch of the book 'Main Boond Khud, Khud Sagar Hoon', Shah reflected on a time when the nation faced darkness, noting that devotional literature kept the flames of our religion, freedom, and culture alive. He described literature as the essence of our society, and expressed optimism about the visible changes occurring in the country. Shah is confident that by 2047, this journey will restore all forms of lost glory and societal values.

Reviving Linguistic Heritage

Shah called for renewed efforts across the nation to reclaim India's linguistic heritage. He predicted that English would eventually be viewed globally as a symbol of colonial oppression. He asserted that no foreign language can adequately convey the essence of our country, culture, history, and religion, emphasizing that a complete understanding of India cannot be achieved through incomplete foreign languages.
