Punjabi language movement

The Punjabi language movement advocates for greater recognition and preservation of Punjabi as a distinct language, emphasizing its cultural and linguistic identity. Originating in response to policies that marginalized Punjabi in educational and official domains, especially in India and Pakistan, the movement seeks measures like promoting Punjabi-medium education, standardizing scripts, and protecting linguistic rights. It highlights Punjabi's rich history, literature, and cultural significance, aiming to ensure it remains vibrant and accessible amid broader national language policies. Overall, it underscores the importance of linguistic diversity and cultural pride for Punjabi speakers.
