What linguistic minorities want in provinces may be briefly mentioned:
1.The abolition of the system of demanding domicile certificates as per the Bardoli resolution.
The Orissa Domicile Committee appointed in 1943 by the wartime Government unjustly recommended 50 years residence. The present Congress Ministry, which has succeeded, has notaccepted that unprecedented recommendation. But to our regret it has not rejected it. At present an insulting and exasperating procedure is being followed in Orissa in the matter of issuing domicile certificates. It must be galling to the sense of self-respect of millions of such linguistic minorities to be thus treated as if they are aliens, subject to inquisitorial and painful enquiries.
