उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English

Answer: (a) 1, 2 और 3

The Eighth Schedule itself shows that Konkani, Manipuri and Nepali were inserted by the 71st Amendment (in force from 31 August 1992). Maithili came later, through the 92nd Amendment of 2003, along with Bodo, Dogri and Santhali.

  • ✓ 1. Konkani was inserted by the Constitution (Seventy-first Amendment) Act, 1992.
  • ✓ 2. Manipuri was inserted by the same 71st Amendment.
  • ✓ 3. Nepali was also inserted by the 71st Amendment.
  • ✗ 4. Maithili was inserted by the Constitution (Ninety-second Amendment) Act, 2003, in force from 7 January 2004.

Remember · 71st Amendment (1992): Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali. 92nd Amendment (2003): Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, Santhali. Sindhi was added by the 21st Amendment (1967).
