Literature
Konkani literature is rich and varied, with works ranging from religious and philosophical treatises to poetry and novels. The first known Konkani book, 'Krista Purana', was written by a Christian missionary in the 17th century. Modern Konkani literature has been recognized by the Sahitya Akademi and the Jnanpith Award.
Status and Recognition
Konkani is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India, according to the Indian Constitution. It is the official language of the state of Goa. Despite this, the language has faced challenges in terms of preservation and development, and efforts are ongoing to promote and protect the language.
