Politicians push regional languages to extinction

Federal government should set right the disparity in allocation of funds to promote sanskrit and hindi, compared to other languages. Instead it is keen on imposition of hindi and sanskrit through Federal Education Policy. 

One of the official languages of the federation, is hindi; English is another. 

Linguists have pointed out that due to dominance of hindi, other languages like Maithili, Bhopuri, Santhali and Awadhi are on the verge of extinction.
