When did Union Cabinet grant classical status to Malayalam language ?

  • A.2010
  • B.2012
  • C.2013
  • D.2015

Answer: C

Malayalam was granted classical status in 2013.

The Union Cabinet approved classical language status for Malayalam in May 2013, after a committee of the Sahitya Akademi accepted that the language had a long recorded history and an independent literary tradition. It was the fifth language so declared, after Tamil (2004), Sanskrit (2005), Telugu and Kannada (2008).

Odia followed in 2014, so 2015 is too late, and 2010 and 2012 are too early.
