Punjabi signboards apt

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has initiated an appropriate step on Punjabi signboards. We must feel proud of our language, culture and traditions, and thus promote Punjabi, our mother tongue, the way other states such as Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have done for Marathi and Tamil. Education as a basic right can be implemented only if it is imparted through the mother tongue. As Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes in his heart.” People of Punjab must be part of this meaningful movement.
