With the establishment of the ‘Bharatiya Bhasha Anubhag’, the Department of Official Language has now become a complete one, the Union Home Minister, according to a release, said.

Shah said that our potential can be fully exploited only when our processes of thinking, analysis and decision-making are in our mother tongue.

Also, only by strengthening all the local languages of the country, can we take India to its eternal glorious position, the minister observed. Every language of ours is completely connected with other languages and development of all languages is not possible without each other, the Union Home Minister said.

Technology should be used without reducing the spirit, richness and sensitivities of all languages, he said, adding that we will definitely win the battle against the imposition of English upon us.
