Ambedkar had recommended Sanskrit as the official national language: CJI Bobde
Today message πππ
Remembering B R Ambedkar on his 130th birth anniversary,
: Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobde on Wednesday said that BR Ambedkar had proposed Sanskrit as the "official national language" of India but the move did not make any headway.
Remembering B R Ambedkar on his 130th birth anniversary, CJI Bobde said, "Dr Ambedkar had proposed for formulating 'Sanskrit' as the official national language. I don't know if that proposal was tabled. It had signatures of some mullahs, pandits and priests and Dr Ambedkar himself."
"It was his opinion that Tamil is not acceptable in north India and it could be opposed and likewise Hindi can be opposed in south India. But Sanskrit would not be opposed in either north India or south India," the CJI pointed out the reason why the Sanskrit language was preferred as against Hindi while he was speaking at the inauguration of the educational building of Maharashtra Law University in Maharashtra's Nagpur.
