In article 8 there are 22 languages in constitution.

Kashmiri is also a language of India.

Four Indian languages (Bodo, Dogri, Santhali, Maithili) were incorporated in eighth schedule of Indian constitution by 92th amendment.

Earlier there were 14 langs.
then as per 21st Amendment, Sindhi came.
71st Amendment- Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali.
In 92nd Amendment- Bodo, Dogri, Maithali & Santhali came.

Thanks for all the answer.
