The recognition of the language was the greatest issue which was related to the national identity of the Nepali speaking people of India. They were often doubted and treated as aliens. Soon after the recognition of their language the marginalized feeling slowly started diminishing and the community began to feel at home in the mainstream.On the auspicious occasion of Nepali Language Recognition Day, the Sikkim CM expressed his heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the Nepali speakers spread around the world.
