An Equal scope for development

 *🍁 An Equal scope for development 🍁*

_"The meaning of the word Samaj is to move together – Samánam ejate. People should make every effort to carry those who are lagging behind with them. This is the spirit of society. *PROUT clearly advocates that in every progressive and dynamic social system, all languages should enjoy equal rights, equal opportunity and equal recognition*. One should also remember that this recognition should not remain confined to theory or to reading and writing only. Languages should be utilized in day to day life and in all related activities. In all spheres of life – offices, courts, railways, airports, trade, commerce, and private concerns – *the medium of expression should be the mother tongue.*_

_Concerning the spirit of society, it should be remembered that there is no conflict in propagating and popularizing a particular language as a national or international link language or lingua franca, providing all other languages get equal scope for their development. Such an approach depends upon the goodwill and benevolent attitudes of humanity. In reality many countries of the world are multilingual, but they are managing their affairs very smoothly, like Switzerland, for example. If a man from Allahabad comes to Calcutta to live *he may feel difficulty in seeing or reading the signboards, name plates, advertisements, cash memos, official papers, etc.,*which are written in Bengali. He may think that if he were in France for business purposes he would have encountered the same sort of difficulties. *Under such circumstances one should develop and urge to learn the local language*, as this is helpful in developing love and respect for everything in that local area. If such a practice is encouraged, there will be *true communication of thoughts and feelings* between people and the rapid mutual exchange of ideas and cultural expressions between social groups."_
