He described Sindhi as one of the oldest and most melodious languages, noting that its literary tradition reflects a unique confluence of Vedantic philosophy and Sufi thought, promoting universal values of oneness, love, and brotherhood. Highlighting the significance of the occasion, he stated that the release of the Constitution in Sindhi, particularly in the Devanagari script for the first time since Independence, marks an important milestone in promoting linguistic inclusivity. He emphasized that the Constitution is not merely a legal document but the living spirit of the nation, embodying its aspirations, safeguarding rights, and guiding democratic governance. The Vice-President appreciated the efforts of the Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in making the Constitution accessible in multiple Indian languages. He noted that such initiatives help bridge the gap between citizens and governance by enabling people to understand the Constitution in their mother tongue, thereby strengthening democratic participation and trust. He observed that India stands unique in making its Constitution available in a wide range of languages and recalled similar initiatives undertaken in recent years, including translations in Bodo, Dogri, Santhali, Tamil, Gujarati, and Nepali. These efforts, he said, celebrate India’s linguistic diversity and reinforce democratic values. Reflecting on the historical journey of the Sindhi community, the Vice-President noted that the language served as a symbol of resilience and unity during the difficult times following Partition. He recalled that Sindhi was included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution through the 21st Constitutional Amendment in 1967, recognising its cultural significance and ensuring its preservation for future generations. Emphasising the importance of respecting all languages, he said that while every individual holds their mother tongue dear, equal respect must be accorded to all languages. He underscored that India’s strength lies in its diversity, and languages are vital carriers of culture, tradition, and identity. The Vice-President commended the efforts of the Ministry of Law and Justice, particularly the Regional Language Officers, for making the Constitution accessible in regional languages. He expressed confidence that such initiatives would contribute to empowering citizens and strengthening the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. He concluded by urging citizens to celebrate their mother tongues as well as the collective linguistic heritage of the nation, reiterating the spirit of unity in diversity and the guiding principle of “Nation First – Rashtra Pratham.” Among those present on the occasion were Union Minister of State for Law and Justice & Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal; Speaker, Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, Shri Vasudev Devnani; Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, Shri Shankar Lalwani; and Secretary, Legislative Department, Dr. Rajiv Mani, along with other dignitaries. ****** PR/ASM/VMJ (Release ID: 2250713) Visitor Counter : 1064 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Bengali , Bengali-TR , Gujarati , Kannada Vice President's Secretariat Vice-President Shri C.
