He described the mother as our greatest caregiver and the mother tongue as the heritage of our culture. “Just as the four Dhams (sacred abodes) are at the feet of a mother, similarly, joy resides in the lap of the mother tongue,” he said while addressing the Bharatiya Matribhsha Anushthan program held on Monday at Hansdhvani Auditorium, Ravindra Bhavan, on the occasion of Hindi Diwas.
