 The Hindu : New Delhi News : Resentment over status of Rajasthani language
The activists, who met under the banner of the Nagrik Parishad here on Sunday, alleged that a conspiracy was being hatched to impose Marwari dialect of western Rajasthan in the garb of Rajasthani language on the entire State.
The Nagrik Parishad's president, Satyanarain Singh, and convenor, Satyavrat Samvedi, said the imposition of the so-called Rajasthani language would weaken the status of Hindi as the national language and create resentment among the people speaking the dialects such as Brijbhasha, Malwi, Dhundhari, Mewari, Hadoti, Wagdi and Shekhawati.
The speakers regretted that the campaign for getting constitutional recognition for Rajasthani had started in Jodhpur, which was the first Riyasat in erstwhile Rajputana to declare Hindi as its State language inspired by the founder of Arya Samaj, Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
