“It lays a strong foundation for the expression of creativity and personality development. It also fosters creativity at the formative stages. As far as Kashmiri language is concerned, it is richly endowed with classical as well as folk literature watered over thousands of years by various poets, sages, rhetoricians and linguists,” Dr Farooq said.

“Having a large number of speakers, Kashmiri enjoys the privilege of being one of 22 languages mentioned in the eighth schedule, yet that does not put the language out of risk of getting extinct. Therefore the need of the hour calls for taking radical steps to protect it and propagate it. Urdu, no doubt glues all the people of Jammu and Kashmir together, but languages like Kashmiri, Dogri, Pahari, Gojri, Punjabi should not be relegated to obscurity,” he said.

“Calling for a comprehensive strategy to help keep Kashmiri and other languages in Jammu and Kashmir alive, he called for prioritizing it in the education sector, especially during formative years of learning. In addition he emphasized on having Special grants for scholars pursuing research programmes in Kashmiri and other languages,” said a NC spokesperson.

“Incentivization of Publication of journals, magazines and papers in the local native languages like Kashmiri, Dogri, Gojri, Pahari, Punjabi, he said, would go a long way in protecting the linguistic heritage of Jammu and Kashmir,” the spokesperson said.

“He urged the parents to use their mother tongues as a medium of communication in their homes. Communicating in one’s mother tongue should be a matter of pride for all of us in Jammu and Kashmir,” the spokesperson added.
