Abstract
ABSTRACT The Constitution of India, enacted and adopted on 26th November 1949, is not just a supreme political and legal document, but also an instrument of social and economic transformation. The document, inter alia, assures to protect and promote the interests of all communities within the territories of India. While every citizen of India is equal before law, special facilities are given to certain categories of people, in the form of affirmative action. Realising the distinctive and unique cultural and linguistic identities of the Tribal people, the Constitutional safeguards are provided to protect and preserve them. Cultural, linguistic and religious minorities’ rights are part of enforceable fundamental rights. However, the Constitution has recognised a set of 22 languages only and placed them in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution. While these languages enjoy higher status in comparison to the unrecognised languages, the development of the latter is left to the concerned linguistic minority group and at the mercy of the State governments. The paper is an attempt to study some of the issues with regard to the constitutional provision and the subsequent growth and development of languages and literature as well with reference to the tribal people of Manipur.
