Rajasthani has vast literature written in various genres starting from 1000 AD. It is spoken by around eighty million people in Rajasthan and other States of India. The richness of the Rajasthani language and literature has been recognized by the Sahitya Akademi and the University Grants Commission and the language and literature are taught and researched in many universities. The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education has included Rajasthani in the educational syllabus and it has been an optional subject in Rajasthan since 1973. The Rajasthan Legislature has already passed a resolution to include Rajasthani in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. There is a widespread popular demand for the inclusion of Rajasthani language which has every cultural, linguistic and literary justification to be included in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. The cultural aspirations of millions of people will be met who take pride in their language and literature which has flourished for many centuries and which the people of Rajasthan would love to preserve and this will be done by the inclusion of Rajasthani in the Eighth Schedule. Thus it would be appropriate to accord recognition to the Rajasthani language and insert it into the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. Hence this Bill.

Language and Literature
1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

Demography, Social and Cultural Characteristics of the Gujjars and Bakarwals, a Case Study of Jammu and Kashmir Dr.Mohd. Tufail
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 1, Ver. III (Jan. 2014), PP 24-36 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Demography, Social and Cultural Characteristics of the Gujjars and Bakarwals, A Case Study of Jammu and Kashmir Dr.Mohd. Tufail Post DoctoralFellow,Centre for the Study of Regional Development,School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Abstract: Gujjars and Bakarwals is the third largest community in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. They constitute 8.1 percent of the total population in the state according to the census of India, 2001. Gujjars and Bakarwals population is highest in the Jammu region followed by the Valley of Kashmir. It is believed that Gujjars migrated to Jammu and Kashmir from Gujarat (via Rajasthan) and the Hazara district of North Western Frontier Province.Most probably in the 5th and 6th century A.D. at the occurrence of some serious droughts they moved out of Gujarat and crossing Rajasthan and Punjab entered the green pastures of the Siwaliks and the Himalayas. Transhumance practice is the biggest impediment for those who want to ensure formal education for their children. Frequent seasonal migration is one of the biggest hurdles in the education of Gujjar and Bakarwal community. Due to climatic conditions, which vary from place to place in Jammu and Kashmir, Gujjars and Bakarwals have adjusted themselves to different patterns of life and adjustment. No doubt, Gujjar and Bakarwal in Jammu and Kashmir have taken to the Islamic faith and according to their dress, way of life, marriage and kinship, all are different as compared to their counterparts settled in other parts of the state.

Sociolinguistic Survey of Selected Rajasthani Speech Varieties of Rajasthan, India Volume 6: Marwari, Merwari, and Godwari
DigitalResources Electronic Survey Report 2012-034 ® Sociolinguistic survey of selected Rajasthani speech varieties of Rajasthan, India Volume 6: Marwari, Merwari, and Godwari Sajayan Chacko Liahey Ngwazah Juliana Kelsall, Series Editor Sociolinguistic survey of selected Rajasthani speech varieties of Rajasthan, India Volume 6: Marwari, Merwari, and Godwari Sajayan Chacko and Liahey Ngwazah Juliana Kelsall, Series Editor SIL International ® 2012 SIL Electronic Survey Report 2012 –034, September 2012 © 2012 Sajayan Chacko, Liahey Ngwazah, and SIL International ® All rights reserved Abstract This report describes the findings of a sociolinguistic survey conducted among speakers of Marwari (ISO 639-3: rwr), Merwari (ISO 639–3: wry), and Godwari (ISO 639-3: gdx), spoken in the western region of Rajasthan. The fieldwork was done from January to March 2005. Wordlist comparisons, Recorded Text Testing (RTT), Hindi Sentence Repetition Testing (SRT), and questionnaires have been employed as research methods. Results indicate that Marwari, Merwari, and Godwari speakers would benefit from vernacular language development because the people (especially the uneducated) are probably not sufficiently proficient in Hindi, the mother tongue is used in almost all domains of life, and it is likely that these languages will continue to be viable in the future. The findings suggest that language development in the Jodhpur Marwari speech variety would meet the needs for Merwari and Godwari speakers as well. Contents Introduction to the series 1 Introduction

Marwari in Mumbai a Thesis Submitted in Partial
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE Family Language Planning in a Diaspora: Marwari in Mumbai A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in Linguistics By Mrinalini Watson May 2017 The thesis of Mrinalini Watson is approved: ________________________________________________ ____________ Dr. Sharon Klein Date ________________________________________________ ____________ Dr. Terrie Mathis Date ________________________________________________ ____________ Professor Cynthia Hagstrom, Chair Date California State University, Northridge ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, without Dr. Klein’s guidance, mentorship, encouragement when I wanted to give up, and refusal to accept my excuses about being too old, I would not be writing this ‘acknowledgement’. Though language attrition is not her area of specialization (or interest) she graciously agreed to be on my thesis committee and by giving me an ‘outsider’s’ perspective she frequently compelled me to look at the content through a different lens: and for that I am eternally grateful. In the past four years we spent numerous hours together working on different applications, conference presentations, and term papers, which all eventually filtered into this text. Additionally, on behalf of the very long list of students whose lives you have enriched … Thank you! As a committee member, Dr. Mathis’s honest feedback, patience with my punctuation challenges, and guidance with my organizational handicap made the process more manageable and the product much more readable, for which I (and in case anyone else reads it) am very thankful. I would also like to acknowledge and thank Professor Hagstrom who, as my committee chairperson, very kindly took over the position after Dr. Field’s medical emergency and continued to encourage and guide me even after she retired from CSUN, sometimes compelling me to step outside my comfort zone to explore topics more completely.
