💨 Abstract

The Bihar government, led by Nitish Kumar, has requested the Union Home Minister Amit Shah for the classification of Maithili as a "classical language". The state Education Minister, Sunil Kumar, has written a letter to support this request, stating that Maithili is already included in the 8th schedule, used as a medium of instruction, and spoken in a vast area across Bihar, Nepal, and Jharkhand.
