Linguistic Pride

November 28, 2025 |

On the eve of Constitution Day, India witnessed a historic and culturally significant moment as President Droupadi Murmu released translated versions of the Constitution in nine Indian languages, including Kashmiri. For the first time, the Constitution of India has been made accessible in Kashmiri, a milestone that resonates deeply with the people of Jammu and Kashmir and underscores the importance of linguistic inclusion in the democratic fabric of the nation. The translation, carried out meticulously by a team from the University of Kashmir under the Ministry of Law, represents more than a mere linguistic exercise. It symbolizes recognition of Kashmir’s rich cultural and intellectual heritage and empowers its people by providing direct access to the supreme legal document of the land in their mother tongue. Language is the vessel of identity, memory, and expression. For Kashmiri speakers, this initiative strengthens the connection between constitutional rights and daily life, fostering greater awareness and engagement in civic and political discourse. The translation effort reflects scholarly dedication, involving experts from diverse disciplines, who ensured that the nuances of legal language were preserved while making the text comprehensible for ordinary citizens. This achievement is a testament to the University of Kashmir’s commitment to academic excellence and national service, highlighting how educational institutions can play a transformative role in society. Beyond its symbolic value, this step carries profound practical implications. By making the Constitution accessible in Kashmiri, citizens are empowered to understand their rights and responsibilities in a language they naturally relate to, bridging the gap between governance and the governed. It encourages legal literacy, enhances democratic participation, and reinforces the principle that the Constitution belongs to every citizen, irrespective of language or region. This historic translation is also a reminder of the resilience and vibrancy of Kashmir’s linguistic heritage. Amid social and political challenges, the people of the Valley have preserved their language, literature, and identity. The availability of the Constitution in Kashmiri is both a recognition of this legacy and an instrument to strengthen it further. In celebrating this moment, we honor the spirit of inclusion and equality enshrined in the Constitution itself. It is a proud memento for Kashmir, a reaffirmation that every language, every culture, and every citizen has a place in India’s democratic mosaic. The translation of the Constitution into Kashmiri is not just an academic feat—it is a milestone of empowerment, dignity, and national integration.
