Srinagar, Sept 19 (KNS):(KNS) Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said peace, stability, unity and a strong collective identity will pave the way for India’s robust development. He was speaking at a national seminar on Integration in Indian Languages organised by NIT Srinagar and Bharatiya Bhasha Samiti.

The LG said India’s vast linguistic diversity has been a key strength in building a cohesive society that drives transformation and growth.

“Despite our diverse languages and ideas, a common national identity unites us. Hindi should continue to act as a bridge connecting people, while also motivating us to learn other languages to foster cooperation and integration,” he said as per KNS. 

He urged the youth to transcend linguistic differences, preserve India’s cultural heritage, and work towards building a developed Viksit Bharat.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel“You have to create a glorious India by erasing every trace of colonial mindset.
