🚨 Amount spent by the Indian government on languages in the last 10 years. Sanskrit - Rs 2,532 crore Urdu - Rs 838 crore Hindi - Rs 426 crore Tamil - Rs 120 crore Sindhi - Rs 54 crore Telugu - Rs 12 crore Kannada - Rs 12 crore Remaining: < 15 crore (Govt of India)

@IndianTechGuide Why the fk are you spending 800 crores on Urdu from our tax money??? @narendramodi ??

@IndianTechGuide Rs. 2532 Cr. being spent on a language not even spoken by 0.002 % of the population... Bahujans should look for eihter English or their own Vernacular on this list.

@IndianTechGuide Where is Odia? Just leaving this here. 👇

Stop peddling half-baked outrage for views. This isn’t a language budget, it’s a context budget. First, remove Sanskrit from your equality table. It’s not in competition with spoken languages. Sanskrit is being revived and preserved, not promoted for mass communication. That takes foundational spending: building institutions, training scholars, digitizing texts, developing courses. Congress ignored it for 70 years. We’re just trying to reboot civilizational memory. Now to the rest, why do Hindi and Urdu have bigger budgets than Tamil or Telugu? Simple. Scale. Demand. Distribution. Hindi and Urdu are spoken across states, across boards, across millions. Tamil and Telugu are regionally strong, yes, but mostly taught within one state. More teachers, more schools, more students = more funds. That’s not bias, that’s math. Education funding isn’t moral currency. It’s logistics. Just like we fund computer science more than metallurgy today, not because we hate metal, but because demand shapes investment. So stop framing growth as exclusion. Sanskrit deserves resurrection, Hindi deserves reach, Tamil deserves pride. But your post deserves a fact-check first.

@IndianTechGuide Total ₹3,994 crore, misplaced priorities. People are so divided over language that no one’s asking why this money is needed when free resources already exist. It could’ve built factories, skilled youth and let them learn any language of choice.

@IndianTechGuide On whose permission are you wasting 12 crores of our tax money on Kannada?

Now Kannadigas and Tamils are saying: "Ade Kannadiga da!"Tamil da!" But for us Telugu people we honestly don't care 😎 Because we proudly speak our mother tongue, Telugu. Some even speak Sanskrit & Hindi too Not out of pride, but because we believe in learning more languages and embracing knowledge. India unity 🔥🔥🔥

@IndianTechGuide In the last 10 years so much money was spent on Sanskrit and none of the family value the real importance of Sanskrit. What long term value is it creating? Corruption is taking place in language too

@IndianTechGuide Languages ranked by the size of their alphabets: 🇮🇳 Tamil: 247 🇰🇭 Khmer: 74 🇳🇵 Nepali: 64 🇮🇳 Hindi: 52 🇯🇵 Japanese: 46 🇵🇰 Urdu: 36 🇦🇲 Armenian: 36 🇷🇺 Russian: 33 🇮🇷 Persian: 32 🇹🇷 Turkish: 29 🇪🇸 Spanish: 27 🇬🇧 English: 26 🇩🇪German: 26 🇫🇷French: 26 🇵🇹Portuguese: 26 🇰🇷 Korean: 24

@IndianTechGuide Government doesn’t look serious on deradicalisation. The spending on Urdu language should go down slowly to the least @narendramodi @narendramodi_in @PMOIndia And thank you for spending on Sanskrit, we need to revive that language

@IndianTechGuide उर्दू - ८३८ कोटी हिंदी - ४२६ कोटी अभिजात मराठी ??

It shows government’s biased priorities. Sanskrit language with limited contemporary usage, spoken by fewer than 25,000 people as per the 2011 Census. In contrast, languages like Hindi, Urdu, and Tamil are vibrant, widely spoken, and integral to the daily lives of millions. The skewed funding.

The Indian government has allocated funds to promote and preserve various languages. Here’s what the spending data tells us: 🔝 1. Sanskrit Tops the List — ₹2,532 Crore •Sanskrit, though spoken by a very small portion of the population, has received by far the highest funding. •This likely reflects government initiatives focused on reviving, preserving, and promoting Sanskrit due to its historical and cultural significance. •Funding often includes university departments, research institutes, scholarships, and language promotion boards. ⚖️ 2. Urdu and Hindi — Substantially Lower •Urdu received ₹838 crore, which is significantly less than Sanskrit. •Hindi, the most widely spoken language in India, received ₹426 crore. •This suggests that government support may be more focused on cultural preservation (e.g. Sanskrit, Urdu) rather than usage-driven allocation. 📉 3. Regional Languages Get Far Less •Tamil, a classical language with a rich literary history, got only ₹120 crore. •Telugu and Kannada received just ₹12 crore each. •Sindhi, though spoken by a smaller population, received more than Telugu or Kannada — ₹54 crore. ⚠️ 4. “Remaining languages” under ₹15 crore •This implies many Indian languages — including potentially Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, Malayalam, Odia, and others — received minimal direct funding.

@IndianTechGuide Union Government Spending on languages from 2014-2025 Sanskrit received 17 times more than the Southern Languages combined 😶

@IndianTechGuide Realised even Ramji is PR for governments because why would u not spend on maithili knowing it was sita's native language. Ig we are not ready for that conversation 😞

@IndianTechGuide Why Indian government spent 120 crore for a regional language and that too the population of Tamil is less than Telugu

@IndianTechGuide Why the fck we spending money on Urdu? Oh... Appeasement 😑

@IndianTechGuide why are they spending so much on Sanskrit???

@IndianTechGuide बिहारी भाषाओ के लिए 0 For Bihari languages 0

@IndianTechGuide Where exactly was this spent bcz the amount spent on top two languages makes no sense.

@IndianTechGuide Who benefits from Sanskrit? Why promote Urdu? We also can see South discrimination @TVMohandasPai @sardesairajdeep @revanth_anumula @siddaramaiah

@IndianTechGuide We are spending crores on promoting languages, like ₹2,500 crore on Sanskrit only still we’re so divided because of language. Still every other day there is controversy about Hindi vs regional languages, North vs South. Real change comes when we respect each other's language.

@IndianTechGuide This anomaly should go once India is split based on languages like Europe. No more public money spent on a dead language.

@IndianTechGuide Why has the BJP government been spending on Urdu? Is BJP playing the "Good cop, Bad cop" strategy? 😅

@IndianTechGuide For a dead language Sanskrit so much tax payers money is being wasted. 🤡

@IndianTechGuide Giving 2532 crore to Sanskrit alone is scam. CBI should investigate it India's old and cultural language Kannada should get atleast 1000 crores for betterment of india

@IndianTechGuide Those who speak Hindi and Sanskrit are Indian! The rest of the people in India are slaves to them and third rated citizens? That's the policy of BJP?! Other language people are not paying tax? Have some shame!

@IndianTechGuide Urdu??? Yup in the end BJP is a Muslim pleaser party...

@IndianTechGuide We do not need to spend this much about awareness about languages, but focus more on unity and connectivity among citizens. Now, these things are only contributing to disputes among people of different states.

@IndianTechGuide This is how sanghis are killing the BANGLA language. x.com/IndianTechGuid…

@IndianTechGuide Most unfair treatment by Union govt to all indin languages. Classical language, oldest language and beautiful language are all carrots shown but butter is eaten by somebody else

@IndianTechGuide Sanskrit - Rs 2,532 crore - Where is the result Urdu - Rs 838 crore - Why? pls reply

@IndianTechGuide Why can't Kannada haters from Karnataka question this urdu funding? What is the benefit of funding to urdu? Why did govt ignore growth of Indian classical languages? @IamflyAsh22 @sanjuasty

@IndianTechGuide Sanskrit and Tamil are our civilisational identities whether anyone want to agree or not. It’s not that easy to bring back almost dead language. So, it’s fine..

@IndianTechGuide How is the Rs 2,532 crore budget for the Sanskrit language being utilized? Serious question.
