Gokulbhai Bhatt wanted Rajasthani in the Schedule of languages of the Constitution of India

Gokulbhai Daulatram Bhatt wanted Rajasthani in the Schedule of languages of the Constitution of India CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY DEBATES (PROCEEDINGS) - VOLUME X Thursday, the 6th October 1949 Shri Gokulbhai Daulatram Bhatt: I have an observation to make in regard to the language question, in so far as it involves the question of regional languages. I was not present on the day when the language question had come for consideration before the House. But my elders and my other friends advised me not to raise this question later on in this House. But I cannot refrain from observing that if Gujarati, Marathi and such other languages can all be considered regional languages there is no reason why Rajasthani which is similar to them and is spoken by one and a half crore of people could not be considered as a regional language. I know that it has several dialects. But all the same no one can say that its history begins in recent times. As a matter of fact Rajasthani had been in use of se...

Excerpts from concluding remarks by Dr. Rajendra Prasad on Constitution of India

  Excerpts from concluding remarks by  The Honourable Dr. Rajendra Prasad on Constitution of India Saturday, the 26th November,1949     Mr. President: .....   The first question which arises and which has been mooted is as to  the category to which this Constitution belongs . Personally, I do not attach any importance to the label which may be attached to it – whether you call it Federal Constitution or Unitary Constitution or by any other name. It makes no difference so long as the Constitution serves our purpose. We are not bound to have a constitution which completely and fully    falls in line with known categories of constitutions in the world. We have to take certain facts of   history in our own country and the Constitution has not to an inconsiderable extent been influenced   by such realities as facts of history....     Well, the first and the most obvious fact which will attract any observer is the f...

Sri Aurobindo on Swami Vivekananda :

 Today, 12th Jan is #SwamiVivekanandaJayanti  Also the #youthday Sri Aurobindo on Swami Vivekananda :  "It was in religion first that the soul of India awoke and triumphed. There were always indications, always great forerunners, but it was when the flower of the educated youth of Calcutta bowed down at the feet of a illiterate Hindu ascetic, a self-illuminated ecstatic and 'mystic' without a single trace or touch of the alien thought or education upon him that the battle was won. The going forth of Vivekananda, marked out by the Master as the heroic soul destined to take the world between his two hands and change it, was the first visible sign to the world that India was awake not only to survive but to conquer. Afterwards when the awakening was complete, a section of the nationalist movement turned in imagination to a reconstruction of the recent pre-British past in all its details."  "The visit of Swami Vivekananda  to America and the subsequent work of those...

CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA DEBATES (PROCEEDINGS)-VOLUME II Tuesday, the 21st January, 1947   Objective Resolution- Preamble Mr. R. V. Dhulekar: "Some say that the Constituent Assembly is not a sovereign body; it is a creation of the British; its very existence has no meaning and the Constitution drawn up by it has no importance. I cannot have the audacity to say that they  are devoid of sense but I do say that they are ignorant of Indian history. I need  not dwell much on this point. One thousand years ago, India, for some reason,  was decentralised or divided and failing to withstand the invasions of foreigners  came under their sway. Since that very time the fire of freedom has been, constantly blazing in the hearts of the Indian people. It was never extinguished.  On the one hand, this fire appeared in the form of sages. Swami Ramdas,  Goswami Tulsidas, Guru Nanak, Swami Dayanand, Ram Krishna Paramhansa ,  Vivekanand and Ram Teerath ar...
