Mr Kuldeep Prajapati

Kuldeep Prajapati is deeply committed to the promotion and preservation of the Bhojpuri language and culture. Born in Deoria district, Uttar Pradesh, he has devoted himself to encouraging people to speak their native language rather than shifting to Hindi.

Kuldeep has actively worked in various towns in India to raise awareness about Bhojpuri’s rich heritage and its significance in daily life. His efforts have been instrumental in fostering a sense of pride among Bhojpuri speakers and ensuring that the language continues to thrive.

One of Kuldeep’s key objectives is to advocate for the inclusion of Bhojpuri in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. This has been a long-standing demand of Bhojpuri speakers, as the 8th Schedule lists the official languages of India. Recognising Bhojpuri at this level would not only affirm its cultural and linguistic significance but also open new opportunities for its growth and preservation.
