Did PM Modi’s Security Team FAIL? Account HACKED? #shorts
Recently, on Hul Diwas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a tweet in an unfamiliar language for many of his followers. The tweet was written in Santali, the language of the Santhal tribe. Hul Diwas is observed to remember the Santhal rebellion of 1855 led by Sidhu, Kanhu, and other tribal leaders against the British colonial system and oppressive landlords.
Many people on social media were surprised, as they could not read the script or understand the words. Some assumed it was a foreign language or an accidental post. However, it was a deliberate and meaningful message to pay respect to the Santhal community in their own language using the Ol Chiki script, which holds deep cultural significance for them.
His gesture was widely appreciated by tribal leaders and Santali speakers, as it acknowledged their history, culture, and contribution to India’s freedom struggles. For most readers unfamiliar with Santali, it served as a reminder of the country’s linguistic and cultural diversity, and the importance of recognising indigenous languages and communities on national platforms.
