{{Meitei people}}
The [[social movement]] of [[Meitei language]] (officially known as [[Manipuri language]]) to be included as an associate official language of the [[Government of Assam]] is advocated by several literary, political, social associations and organisations as well as notable individual personalities of [[Northeast India]] (predominantly from [[Assam]], [[Manipur]] and [[Tripura]]).<ref>{{Cite news |last=Laithangbam |first=Iboyaima |date=2020-09-27 |title=Assam to look into demand to include Manipuri in list of associate languages |language=en-IN |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/minister-to-look-into-demand-to-include-manipuri-in-the-list-of-associate-languages-of-assam/article32707194.ece |access-date=2022-08-26 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

During November 2021, the [[Government of Assam]] declared the removal of [[:wikt:mandatoriness|mandatoriness]] of any particular language in the job recruitment exams conducted by the [[Assam Public Service Commission]] (APSC).<ref>{{Cite web |author=Mukut Das|date=Nov 27, 2021 |title=Stir over withdrawal of mandatory Assamese paper from APSC exam {{!}} Guwahati News - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/guwahati/stir-over-withdrawal-of-mandatory-assamese-paper-from-apsc-exam/articleshow/87952473.cms |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=[[The Times of India]] |language=en |quote=Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, after the cabinet meeting in Bongaigaon district on Wednesday, said earlier, knowledge of Assamese was mandatory for candidates to appear in the APSC exam.

== Background ==
On 8 October 2020, [[Sarbananda Sonowal]], the then [[Chief Minister of Assam]], declared an announcement that the aspirants of the civil services from the [[Barak Valley]] who do not study either [[Assamese language|Assamese]], [[Bodo language|Bodo]] or [[Bengali language|Bengali]] languages will not be allowed to appear in the qualifying language paper in the exams conducted by the [[Assam Public Service Commission]] (APSC) CEE.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Today |first=North East |date=2020-10-09 |title=Manipuri Bodies Burn Effigies of CM Sonowal, Himanta Biswa; Demands Manipuri as Associate Official Language |url=https://www.northeasttoday.in/2020/10/09/manipuri-bodies-burn-effigies-of-cm-sonowal-himanta-biswa-demands-manipuri-as-associate-official-language/ |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=Northeast Today |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-10-09 |title=Manipuri Bodies Demand Manipuri As Associate Official Language In Assam {{!}} East Turn News |url=https://eastturn.in/manipuri-bodies-demand-manipuri-as-associate-official-language-in-assam/ |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=East Turn |language=en-US}}</ref>

The job recruitments conducted by the [[Assam Public Service Commission]] (APSC) of the [[Government of Assam]] has made it mandatory for all the candidates to appear job exams only in [[Assamese language|Assamese]], [[Bodo language|Bodo]] or [[Bengali language|Bengali]] ''without providing any alternative language'' for people who studied in other languages like [[Meitei language]] in [[Assam]], starting from primary level to above.<ref>{{Cite web |title=List Manipuri as associate official language in Assam: Ranjan in LS : 21st dec20 ~ E-Pao!

As some languages are made mandatory in the academics of Assam while [[Meitei language]] is not, in the near future, the disappearance of [[Meitei language]] in Assam will be the nearest possible outcome because students who do not choose the option for the mandatory languages in their educational careers are not allowed to appear in many Assam state government jobs. Due to such a law imposed by the [[Government of Assam]], many students have hesitantly denied [[Meitei language]] medium in [[Assam]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Make Manipuri associate official language of Assam: AAMSU : 22nd sep21 ~ E-Pao!

== Efforts of socio-political leaders ==
During September 2020, [[Leishemba Sanajaoba]], a [[Rajya Sabha]] [[Member of Parliament|MP]] of [[Manipur]], urged [[Sarbananda Sonowal]], the then [[Chief Minister of Assam]], for the recognition of [[Meitei language]] as an 'associate' official language of [[Assam]]. According to him, with the recognition of [[Meitei language]] as an associate official language, the identity, history, culture and tradition of [[Manipuris]] residing in [[Assam]] could be protected and preserved. Earlier, [[Nongthombam Biren Singh]], the [[Chief Minister of Manipur]], had discussed with the Chief Minister of [[Assam]], about the matter on the inclusion of [[Meitei language]] in the list of subjects in the examinations conducted by [[Assam Public Service Commission]] (APSC).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Manipuri as associate official language in Assam Sanajaoba approaches Sonowal |url=https://www.thesangaiexpress.com/Encyc/2020/9/24/Manipuri-as-associate-official-language-in-AssamSanajaoba-approaches-Sonowal-.html |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=www.thesangaiexpress.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=S |first=Vangamla Salle K |date=2020-09-24 |title=Manipur titular king writes to CM Sonowal to recognise Manipuri language in Assam |language=en-US |work=EastMojo |url=https://www.eastmojo.com/news/2020/09/24/manipur-titular-king-writes-to-cm-sonowal-to-recognise-manipuri-language-in-assam/ |access-date=2022-08-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Desk |first=Sentinel Digital |date=2020-09-25 |title=Manipur's titular king Leishemba urges Assam CM to include Manipuri as an associate official language - Sentinelassam |url=https://www.sentinelassam.com/north-east-india-news/manipur/manipurs-titular-king-leishemba-urges-assam-cm-to-include-manipuri-as-an-associate-official-language-503365 |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=www.sentinelassam.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-09-24 |title=MP Sanajaoba urges Assam CM to include Manipuri language as associate language of Assam {{!}} Pothashang News |url=https://www.pothashang.in/2020/09/24/mp-sanajaoba-urges-assam-cm-to-include-manipuri-language-as-associate-language-of-assam/ |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=Pothashang |language=en-GB}}</ref>

During December 2020, [[Rajkumar Ranjan Singh]], a [[Member of Parliament]] of [[Lok Sabha]], sought attention of the House for the recognition of [[Meitei language]] as an associate official language of Assam. Highlighting about the bill passed by the [[Assam Legislative Assembly]] introducing [[Assamese language]] as a mandatory subject in all the educational institutions in Assam from Class I to X, Ranjan said that [[Meitei language]] should be declared as an associate official language of Assam in accordance to the "Article 347" of the [[Indian Constitution]], which is a special provision for the recognition of a language spoken by a section of the population of a State to be officially recognised entirely or partially of the state.<ref>{{Cite web |title=List Manipuri as associate official language in Assam: Ranjan in LS : 21st dec20 ~ E-Pao!

== Public grievances and protests ==
During July 2020, the "Youth's Action Committee for Protection of Indigenous People" (YACPIP) and the "Manipuri Youth Front of Assam" (MYFA), [[Silchar]], demanded the recognition of [[Meitei language]] as associate official language of [[Assam]] so as the [[Manipuri people]] can apply for jobs in their mother language.<ref>{{Cite web |title=YACPIP appeals Assam Govt to include Manipuri Language as Associate official Language : 15th jul20 ~ E-Pao!

In the memorandum, they have stated that [[Meitei language]] is legitimate to be an associate official language in Assam, as there are 102 [[Meitei language]] medium schools recognised by [[Government of Assam]] and [[Meitei language]] is being taught in the schools since 1956 till present.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-07-01 |title=Assam: Youth body demands recognition of Manipuri as associate official language |url=http://www.indiatodayne.in/assam/story/assam-youth-body-demands-recognition-manipuri-associate-official-language-404906-2020-07-01 |access-date=2022-08-26 |website=India Today NE |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Make Manipuri language official: MYFA : 14th jul20 ~ E-Pao!

During October 2020, in reaction to the [[#Background|announcement of Assam Chief Minister]], regarding the exemption of people, who do not study in either of the mandatory languages, from government job exams, various associations and organisations led by the "Manipuri Youths Front of Assam" (MYFA) burnt the [[effigy]] of [[Sarbananda Sonowal]] (the then Chief Minister) and [[Himanta Biswa Sarma]] (the then Education Minister).
