More than three crore population of our country belong to the Santhal community. Irrespective of the State in which they reside, be it West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar or Madhya Pradesh, this three crore tribal population speak Santhali. This language has its own script called Ulchiki which was discovered long back by Pandit Raghunath Murmu. In the year 1980, this particular script was recognised by the Government of West Bengal. There is a persistent demand from this section of the population that Santhali language should be recognised and should be included in the Eighth Schedule of our Constitution, just like other languages. I demand that the Constitution should be accordingly amended to enable the inclusion of Santhali language in the Eighth Schedule of our Constitution. <\/p>\n<p>MR.
