Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently announced the introduction of ISL in the Indian Education System.

This step will create a ripple effect in providing equal access for them and empower the community to conquer the world.". 

The Bajirao Mastaani actor further stated how the inclusion of ISL would help to remove certain taboos. He said, "The fact that students can learn ISL as a language will possibly help in removing taboos that society has towards the deaf citizens of our country. I would say that it was high time that this happened. We at IncInk Records, have tried our best to raise as much awareness about the importance of ISL being declared a recognised language by lending support for the petition & ISL music videos for the deaf and hard of hearing community to feel more inclusive.".

Later, in the chat, the Lootera actor praised the citizens of the country for continuously spreading awareness regarding important issues. He said, "We are delighted that the government has taken such a prominent and positive stance. I'm thankful to all the citizens of the country who participated in signing the petition to urge the government to declare ISL a recognised language.". They have all participated in their own way in ushering this day. It's a solid start towards addressing the issues concerning the Deaf community and we will keep on working towards raising as much awareness as possible in the days to come.".
