Good initiative, but I hope this doesn't become another bureaucratic exercise. The real test is whether legal documents and court proceedings actually become simpler for people in villages and small towns.

While promoting Hindi is important, we must ensure it doesn't marginalize other Indian languages. Legal clarity is the goal, and that can be achieved in multiple languages. A balanced approach is needed.

Simplifying legal Hindi is a fantastic idea! So many people are intimidated by complex legal jargon. If laws can be explained in simple words, it empowers every citizen. 👏

Holding the meeting at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre is symbolic. Dr. Ambedkar championed clarity and access to justice for all. This effort aligns with that vision. Hope to see concrete results soon.
