05/25/07 - 65% population of Jharkhand is Bengali speaking. Yet Bengali is not even taught in the schools. No Bengali textbook is available. The state of Jharkhand gives no recognition to the Bengali language. For this reason, Amra Bangali took out a rally on 28 th March 2007, at Ranchi and submitted a memorandum to the Governor of Jharkhand with the following demands:
- Bengali should be the medium of all state correspondence - official as well as unofficial.
- Bengali speaking teachers must be posted to teach Bengali in schools and colleges.
- Bengali should become the medium of education.
- Textbooks should be made immediately available in Bengali language.
- Local people (Nagpuria speaking people) - including Bengali speaking - all sons of the soil should be given 100% employment in Government and non-Government jobs.
- All sign boards, all announcements and circulars should be in Bengali language.
- Bengali regiments should be created in the Armed forces of India.
