Respecting and learning a language doesn't mean we are ignoring the others and so “Sarwa Bhasha Saraswati” should be our leading light that would help bridge the gap created by languages, poet and Jnanpith laureate O.N.V. Kurup has said.

He was speaking at the diamond jubilee celebrations of the Kerala Hindi Prachar Sabha here on Thursday.

He said Hindi was a language that helped unite people during the independence struggle of the country.

“Hindi is not just a language but it was one of the weapons that helped us in our struggle for independence. There has been no other language that united the people of this nation to fight for their independence. It is in this aspect that the language should be respected,” Mr. Kurup said.

“Similarly, Sanskrit had united many languages across the country. Hence, each language deserves its own place. We should also promote the many languages which have lost their importance owing to the arrival of English,” he added.

Jnanpith Award, the highest literary award in India for the year 2007. He received the awards Padma Shri in 1998 and Padma Vibhushan in 2011


These awards mean nothing to me. Hindi politicians give this to their servants for services rendered. No different fro the Sir title given to some obedient servants in the British colonies,.
