Under which constitutional article the Assam Cabinet nodded to make Assamese language the state language of Assam?

Answer» On December 23, 2019, the Assam Cabinet nodded to make Assamese language the state language of Assam. This will exclude BTAD (Bodoland Territorial Administrative Districts), Barak Valley and Hill districts of Assam. Article 345 says that subject to provisions of Article 346 and 347, the state legislature might adopt one or more languages to be used as official languages. Article 346 states that the states are authorized to decide on the language of communications amongst them and with the centre. However, such a language should have been authorized by the centre.
