Q55 (CISF/2019) Polity & Governance › Constitutional Basics & Evolution

In 1967, which language was added to the list of major recognized Indian languages by a Constitutional Amendment?

Explanation

The Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution deals with the official languages recognized by the Republic of India. Initially, the Constitution included 14 languages. The 21st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1967 added Sindhi as the 15th language to the Eighth Schedule.

  • Konkani was added later by the 71st Amendment Act in 1992, along with Manipuri and Nepali.
  • Pashto and Garo are not included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

As of today, there are 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule, with the last additions (Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, and Santhali) made via the 92nd Amendment Act in 2003.
