Answers
Answer:
The government of Assam, under the then Chief Minister Bimala Prasad Chaliha proposed the Assamese Official Language Bill in the Assembly on 10 October 1960. The Bill provided for two official languages- Assamese and for an interim period, English. It was passed on 24 October 1960.
Explanation:
1960
The Bill provided for two official language- Assamese and for an interim period, English. The bill passed on October 24, 1960, included safeguards for linguistic minorities as well. Thus in 1960 the Assam official Language Bill was passed and Assamese was declared as the official language of the state.
Section 5 of the Assam Official Language Act 1960 as amended in 1967 had specified Bengali as the official language anyway. This prompted the state government to issue a fresh circular on September 9 saying that the official language (Bengali) of Barak Valley will continue to be used for all official works.
