ମେନ୍ସ
GS Paper I (Indian culture) and GS Paper II (governance): Language is a core marker of regional identity, and states use official language policy and public spaces to promote it. Under the Constitution, a state may adopt its official language (Article 345), while the Eighth Schedule and classical language status support its protection. Such symbolic measures should be paired with Kannada in education, administration and digital content, without diluting the linguistic diversity of migrants and minorities.
