On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the first phase of the 'Museum of Word' at the National Library in Kolkata. He described this initiative as a significant step towards revitalizing the nation's cultural heritage. Shah emphasized that this museum represents a major achievement in the ongoing efforts of the central government to preserve and promote India's cultural identity.


 


He remarked that this day is crucial for the country's culture, as Prime Minister Modi is reaching a significant milestone in the commitment to rejuvenate the nation's cultural legacy. The essence of any culture and its expression cannot exist without language, which in turn is rooted in the emotions expressed through words. Shah expressed confidence that the 'Museum of Word' will fulfill a fundamental need in the process of cultural revival, ensuring its success.


 


Highlighting the importance of preserving local languages, he stated that a nation's linguistic identity should not be limited to emotional connections but should actively shape the character of its people. Shah urged individuals to cherish their traditional languages, noting that everyone has a bond with their mother tongue, which is natural. He emphasized that this connection should not remain merely an emotion but should become an integral part of our character, reminding us that as Indians, we may have forgotten our traditional attire.


 


He further asserted the necessity of ensuring that we do not lose our language. Those who view language from a scientific perspective should recognize that it is a science that has evolved naturally. While language is indeed scientific, its development has been based on necessity and natural evolution.
