Union home minister Amit Shah<\/a> on Monday said it took nearly 80 years to restore the \u201cfull glory\u201d of the national song Vande Mataram<\/a>, underlining its enduring role in India’s cultural and national identity.Addressing the 6th All India Rajbhasha Sammelan, Shah said the song had played an important role in India\u2019s freedom struggle and remained deeply connected with the country\u2019s cultural consciousness.Shah also linked the promotion of Indian languages with what he described as cultural nationalism, saying the objective was to create greater awareness about India’s rich culture and history.\u201cCultural nationalism means creating awareness about our culture and history,\u201d Shah said, stressing that linguistic diversity should be seen as a strength rather than a source of division.<\/p>\n

The Union home minister also defended the provision in the National Education Policy (NEP) encouraging students to learn another Indian language apart from their mother tongue.He said those opposing the provision were committing a \u201csin\u201d.Shah said the policy was aimed at strengthening familiarity among Indians with each other\u2019s languages and cultures, rather than imposing any particular language.He also highlighted Maharashtra\u2019s linguistic diversity, describing it as the country\u2019s only multi-linguistic state. Shah noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s government had accorded Classical Language status to Marathi, recognising its rich literary and historical heritage.“It was none other than our PM Modi who took the initiative to grant Marathi the status of a ‘Classical Language.’ When you step onto the soil of Maharashtra, you find a place where diverse languages, such as Konkani, Gujarati, Sindhi, Hindi, Kannada, and Warli that have flourished, been respected, and gained acceptance. <\/p>\n
