remarked.

correspondent the said that with the passage of time two languages
Urdu and Hindi came closer in Bhopal which is the symbol of linguistic
unity. She further added that Bhopal has always been a source of
attraction for linguists because of the historical moments of Sanchi.

University, (MANUU), Bhopal's Regional Centre, extended his help and
cooperation to the visiting team from Aligarh. He presented a memento
