Actor Ranveer Singh included in his praise and statements that he’s proud that India has taken a progressive step towards fostering inclusivity by introducing Indian Sign Language (ISL) as the 23d official language of India.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that ISL will be added to the school curriculum and students can opt for it, it became official that ISL is now the 23rd official language of India, no one was more thrilled than Ranveer Singh.
The actor had been urging the authorities to consider the ISL for the same and also signed a petition in 2020 aimed at implementing awareness for the cause.
His opinion was along the lines that this step will initiate a ripple effect in providing equal access for the differently-abled community and empower them to conquer the world.
In addition to that, he laid down the stats stating that it will help move three lakh people in the country who are solely dependent on sign language for learning at this point.
The actor’s independent record label IncInk which he created in collaboration with Navzar Eranee released music videos with sign language and this was the first and the only record label to do so.
The deaf community expressed their heartfelt appreciation for the video, last year in September.
The Gully boy (2019) actor said that he was delighted that the government took such a prominent and positive stand.
He expressed his gratitude towards the citizens who took part in signing the petition and urged the authorities to recognise the language.
He acknowledged their effort and said that everyone had their own role to play and this is a solid start towards raising as much awareness as possible in the days to come.
Ranveer’s record label partner Navzar shared that their song Vartalap allowed them to feel beyond their senses and this lead them to include the deaf community and to be educated about their struggles.
He was ecstatic that he had a chance to use this platform for a greater cause and was able to urge the supremacy to recognise the language in the nation.
