Rajasthan School Under Scrutiny for Using Urdu Words in Invitation, Government Orders Probe

Language Controversy in Rajasthan 

A private school in Rajasthan has sparked controversy after including Urdu words in its event invitation, prompting the state government to launch an investigation. The issue surfaced when the invitation card, which contained Urdu terms alongside Hindi and English, drew criticism from certain groups. Authorities have now stepped in to examine the intent behind the language choice and determine if any guidelines were violated.

According to officials, the investigation will assess whether the inclusion of Urdu was deliberate or routine, and if it had any political or religious motivations. The school management, however, has defended its decision, stating that the use of multiple languages was aimed at promoting inclusivity and cultural diversity.

The Rajasthan education department has assured that a fair and unbiased probe will be conducted, emphasizing that schools must adhere to prescribed linguistic norms in official communications. Meanwhile, the incident has triggered a broader debate on language use in educational institutions and whether schools should have the flexibility to incorporate diverse linguistic elements in their materials.
