Manthan Awards team for this Award. This Award is an honour for over 34
crore Bhojpuri Speaking people across the Globe. Bhojpuri, a language of
masses, is yet to be recognized by the Government of India. I don't know,
when they will add it to the 8th schedule of Indian constitution and what
they are waiting for? At least, Manthan awards team and the Jury recognized
the importance of Bhojpuri, thanks once again", Sudhir Kumar (Director,
Bhojpuria.com) said just after receiving the award.
