Abstract
According to Linguistic Human Rights, every individual has the right to express themselves in their mother tongue. The first learning in schools should help students discover the world of knowledge through a language or mother tongue that they understand best to help them develop their linguistic, social and cultural identity. In a larger scenario, this could help cope with the increasing dropout cases and prevent linguistic, social and cultural deprivation. Preserving linguistic and cultural diversity is our duty towards humanity. This research primarily focuses on the present scenario of pre-primary and primary students of Rajbangsi speakers in the Cooch Behar district of West Bengal. By surveying the adequateness of the steps taken to preserve this mother tongue of the Bengali language, this paper would also delve into the critical role that NEP 2020 could play to help preserve, exercise and spread this language.References
