AS IF A WHOLE CONTINENT OF HUMAN HISTORY IS GETTING SUBMERGED
Down To Earth
|May 16, 2025
There is very little chance that natural languages created by humans in past eras will continue to exist in their current form
I have been studying Indian languages for the past five decades. Over these decades, I realised that the emotional relationship between languages and their speakers in India is of a significantly different kind than that prevailing in respect of many languages outside India. Investigation into the high sentimental investment in languages led me to realise that language has played a major role in determining social structures as well as cultural practices in India.
