Bhojpuri superstar and BJP MP Ravi Kishan has introduced a private member bill in Lok Sabha to include Bhojpuri in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. This move aims to acknowledge Bhojpuri as an official language, highlighting its rich cultural history, literature, and significant role in the film and music industry.

In a significant move, BJP MP and Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan has tabled a private member bill in the Lok Sabha to include the Bhojpuri language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. This initiative underscores Bhojpuri's rich cultural heritage and seeks to elevate its status to an official language.

Ravi Kishan emphasized that Bhojpuri is not just about crass songs but boasts a profound cultural history and literature that requires promotion. He noted the widespread understanding and usage of Bhojpuri and its role in generating employment through its vibrant film and music industries.

The bill highlights the ancient roots of Bhojpuri, tracing it back to Sanskrit, and points out its significant impact nationally and internationally. Despite its prominence, Bhojpuri's inclusion in the Eighth Schedule remains pending, a gap that Kishan aims to address with this legislative proposal.
