Chandigarh, November 19

Punjab Students Union (Lalkaar) organised a ‘Fest of Mother Languages’ at the Student Centre, Panjab University, here today.

The Student Centre was decorated with handmade Punjabi poetry posters, photo gallery of Punjabi writers from Baba Farid till modern period, Punjabi calligraphy and Punjabi literature stalls. Classical Punjabi music and quizzes were also organised.

Amandeep, convenor of the PSU(Lalkaar), said hundreds of languages were spoken in our country, but they have not been given official status because it has been a policy of the Centre and state governments since 1947 to curb the development of various mother languages and impose Hindi-English as part of their agenda of ‘One Nation, One Language’.

The PSU (Lalkaar) held a three-week ‘Maa Boli Chetna Campaign’ and distributed thousands of pamphlets and posters across Punjab.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
