“Our mother tongue is not just a language; it is our identity, culture, and heritage. On this International Mother Language Day, let us pledge to respect, preserve, and promote our native languages for future generations.”

The day was proclaimed by UNESCO in 1999 and has been observed worldwide since 2000.
It commemorates the language movement in Bangladesh, where students sacrificed their lives on 21 February 1952 to protect the Bengali language.

🌿 Tribute to the Great Freedom Fighter – Tilka Majhi 🌿

On the sacred occasion of the Birth Anniversary of Veer Tilka Majhi, we bow our heads in deep respect to the first tribal freedom fighter who raised his voice against British oppression.

Tilka Majhi was not just a warrior, but a symbol of courage, resistance, and tribal pride. His fearless struggle in 1784 against injustice and exploitation laid the foundation for India’s freedom movement. His sacrifice continues to inspire generations to stand for truth, dignity, and self-respect.

Let us remember his bravery and dedicate ourselves to the values of unity, justice, and equality for which he fought.

Salute to the immortal hero of tribal history!
