The constitution of India is not rigid and it has no fixed number of languages to be included in the 8th Schedule. Many languages have been included in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution after India's independence. Many languages were found neither numerically stronger nor more grammatically richer than Tulu. Assamese (approx 13,168,484), Sindhi (approx 2,535,485), Nepali (approx 2,871,749), Konkani (approx 2,489,015), Manipuri (approx 1,466,705), Kashmiri (approx 5,527,698), Sanskrit (approx 49,800) many of them have lesser population than Tulu speaking population which comprises of approx 5,000,000 but sad and unfortunately Tulu has not been included in the 8th Schedule. Tulu being one of the oldest Dravidian languages needs to be considered to be in the 8th Schedule of the world’s largest democratic Indian constitution and the Minister promised to present this in the next Parliament session.
