Mhari Bhasha, Mhari Pehchaan
Our language is our identity. GARC is preserving Rajasthani — for the next generation, wherever they live.
A language at risk in the diaspora
Across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Nepal, and beyond — Rajasthani families are watching their mother tongue slip from one generation to the next. Children growing up outside Rajasthan often hear Rajasthani only at home; some lose it entirely by adulthood.
A structured, joyful, global path to learning Rajasthani
Under the leadership of Prakash Kejriwal Ji, Vice-President (Youth Affairs) of GARC, we are launching a global Rajasthani Bhasha programme — bringing structured language teaching, kids' resources, cultural context, and a community of learners to diaspora families everywhere.
The programme is open to all Rajasthani associations worldwide. Associations register with GARC; their members enrol; children get free trial classes. It's how we keep marwari log connected to apri bhasha.
Three ways to engage
Bhasha Classes for Kids
Live, age-appropriate Rajasthani classes for diaspora children. Free trial classes for members of registered associations. Optional advanced streams for kids who want to go deeper.
Launch — End of May 2026

Partner With GARCThe Languages of Rajasthan
"Rajasthani" is a family of closely-related languages spoken across Rajasthan's seven historic regions. Marwari is the most widely-spoken — but it's only one of many.
Marwari
Spoken across Marwar — Jodhpur, Bikaner, Pali, Nagaur, Jaisalmer. The diaspora's most widely-used Rajasthani language, especially among Marwari trading families abroad.
Mewari
The language of Mewar — Udaipur and surrounding areas. Distinct from Marwari but closely related; rich in folk poetry and devotional song traditions.
Dhundhari
Spoken in and around Jaipur (the Dhundhar region). Often blends with Hindi in modern usage but retains a distinctive vocabulary and intonation.
Hadoti
The language of Hadoti — Kota, Bundi, Jhalawar, Baran. Has its own folk literature and is the daily tongue across south-eastern Rajasthan.
Shekhawati
Spoken across Shekhawati — Sikar, Jhunjhunu, Churu. The mother tongue of many of India's most prominent Marwari business families.
Mewati & Vagdi
Mewati — spoken in the Mewat region (Alwar, Bharatpur). Vagdi — spoken in Vagad (Banswara, Dungarpur). Both with distinctive cultural heritage.
Recognition. Preservation. Pride.
Rajasthani is one of India's most spoken languages, with tens of millions of native speakers. GARC supports the long-running campaign for Rajasthani's inclusion in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution — and works to ensure that wherever Rajasthanis live in the world, their language travels with them.
