Amit Shah launches ‘Indian Languages Section’ to free administration from foreign language influence

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday (June 6, 2025) launched the Bharatiya Bhasha Anubhag (BBA), or Indian Languages Section, to provide an organised platform for all Indian languages to move towards “freeing the administration from the influence of foreign languages”.

The Minister said that the Section will incorporate the linguistic diversity of India, adding that “our potential” can be fully exploited only when “our processes of thinking, analysis and decision-making are in our mother tongue.”
