Dear John,

the protocol of the parliamentary discussion does not report much of the
details, but check it yourself unter

LOK SABHA Bulletin Monday,  December  22,  2003/Pausa 1, No. 350 - check
paragraph 23 "The Constitution (One-hundredth Amendment) Bill, 2003.
(Amendment of Eighth Schedule)"

http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/bulletin1/03/221203.html

The Rajya Sabha protocol is a bit more conclusive

Tuesday, December 23, 2003/Pausa 2

http://rajyasabha.nic.in/rsdebate/synopsis/200/23122003.htm

A small article on the issue "Welcome More Languages to the Constitution
Club" had made me aware of the issue recently:

http://www.languageinindia.com/jan2004/langnewsjan2004.html

There is probably more in the Indian press.

Dear Members,

Happy New Year to all!

I had a quick question that maybe someone on the list can help me out
with.

A friend of mine in India has written me that on December 22, 2003, the
Loksabha and Rajyasabha both approved of including four new scheduled
languages: Bodo, Dogri, Maithili and Santali.

Could anyone point me to a page somewhere where I can read up on this?

Many thanks!
John
