A student at Rajasthan University (RU) starts a hunger strike demanding the establishment of a Rajasthani language department. According to reports, the student is seeking recognition and institutional support for the language, and is pressing university authorities to take action on the demand. The hunger strike is being carried out as a form of protest to highlight the issue and increase pressure for a decision.

While the reports focus on the student’s action and the stated demand, details about the university’s response, any talks with officials, and the specific administrative steps being requested are not fully outlined in the provided excerpts. The information consistently centers on the same core issue: the student’s protest for a dedicated department for the Rajasthani language at RU. As the situation develops, authorities’ position and the student’s health status would be key factors to monitor, along with whether the university initiates a process to review the demand.
