Constitution of India Released in Bodo and Kashmiri
The release of the Bodo-language edition has been welcomed as an important step toward ensuring linguistic justice and empowering citizens by making the country’s supreme law available in their mother tongue.
Described as a “historic” achievement, the publication of the Constitution in Bodo is seen as long-awaited recognition for the Bodo-speaking community. It reinforces the national vision of making constitutional principles accessible to every linguistic group across the country.
The Government of India has previously taken key measures to strengthen the status of the Bodo language, including its addition to the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution in 2004 and its acceptance as an Associate Official Language of Assam in 2021. These initiatives have strengthened the linguistic, cultural, and administrative identity of the Bodo people.
The availability of the Constitution in Bodo is expected to enhance constitutional understanding among students and the general public, encourage wider democratic participation, support the growth and preservation of the Bodo language, and uphold the nation’s spirit of unity in diversity.
This development reflects the Centre’s dedication to cultural inclusivity and is likely to inspire future generations to uphold the ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity enshrined in the Constitution of India.
On this significant occasion, greetings were extended to people across the nation, along with a renewed commitment to promoting education, strengthening social harmony, and preserving the rich cultural identity of the Bodo community.
