💨 Abstract

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed joy as the Centre accorded classical language status to Bengali, following a long-standing claim by her government. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also declared Assamese, Marathi, Pali, and Prakrit as classical languages. Banerjee stated that Bengali had been neglected for years but she took the initiative to advocate for this recognition.
