        abstract = {This article explores the significance of Indian classical languages in preserving the nation's rich cultural heritage within a modern context. Recognized for their historical and literary importance, languages such as Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali serve as vital links to India's ancient traditions, folklore, and religious practices. The article discusses various government initiatives aimed at promoting and safeguarding these languages, including their inclusion in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution and the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes mother-tongue education. Additionally, it highlights cultural celebrations and events that foster linguistic unity and promote cultural exchange. The recognition of classical languages not only encourages scholarly research and the preservation of ancient texts but also aims to make these languages globally competitive. By examining the interplay between language, culture, and modernity, this article underscores the importance of sustaining India's linguistic diversity as a means of fostering national identity and cultural pride in an increasingly globalized world.},
