India Unity In Diversity In India
India is described as a country which is "a Unity is Diversity" because it is comprised of a wide
variety of individuals who belong to different religions, speak different languages, practice different
traditions, have different castes, worship different gods, wear different clothing, and eat different
foods. Although India is comprised of all these different individuals and their diverse traits and
practices, these individuals live together in peace and harmony in India.
Furthermore, the people of India are governed by one central authority and have one Prime Minister,
President, Supreme Court, and Army Chief. Hinduism is the main religion practiced in India;
however, there are followers of Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, and Parsees. The
people of India practice different religions but majority of them believe in the theory of Dharma and
Karma. This theory includes salvation, rebirth, purification the soul, good for good, and bad for bad.
Furthermore, the people of India come together to celebrate festivals and cultural celebrations. Even
Indian philosophy contributes to the idea that India is "a Unity in Diversity." There is difference in
the overall conceptions of gods and ways of worshipping but Indians still maintain the fear of
heaven and hell. Many ethics groups coexist in India as well. However, within each ethnic group,
views on rituals, marriage, and castes remain the same. Also, many languages are spoken in India,
but Sanskrit still maintains

English in India
ENGLISH IN INDIA
In our country English is important for a number of reasons. India is a land of diversity. Different
people speak different languages. A person of Tamil Nadu does not speak Hindi. So he can't
understand Hindi of a person from North India. However he can understand in English.
So English is a link language. Different people can communicate with one another with the help of
English. Secondly, all advanced knowledge in science, technology and medicine is available in
English. The results of the latest researches come to india through the medium of English. If we give
up English, we will lag behind in the higher fields of study. Today the world has become one family.

There is constant social pressure to learn and use English at different stages. We learn not only
English but we also learn many subjects through English.
Student also need English both for pursuing their studies and communicate in real life situation after
they leave university. English needed to perform a large number of communicative acts i.e.
comprehend and interpret professional material in English, read general books and magazines for
information or pleasure, persuade people to do certain other activities. Our approach to language
teaching should then be such that students are enabled to use English for the purposes they would
need to use it.
English has respectable place in the society. A person is not a considered educated if he does have
the fair knowledge of English. It has an established sociolinguistic fact that no one learns a second
language unless there is need for it. English is perhaps best when it is the medium of instruction.
This explains why more and more people want English medium schooling for their children. English
medium schools have become synonymous with good teaching, better discipline, accountability, etc.
So the mushrooming of English medium schools is as much an indicator of the common man's
desire for good teaching of English as ; of quality education generally, there is a social demand for

A Discourse Community In Indi A Discourse Community?
India: A Discourse Community Accomplishing goals through intercommunication among members
of a community is one characteristic that makes up a discourse community. A discourse community
has six characteristics such as having a broadly agreed set of goals, a participatory mechanism to
provide information or feedback, acquiring a specific level of language, and members with a
suitable degree of relevant content. The community that is a community discourse is India. India
occupies the greater part of South Asia and consists of twenty–nine states. India is most known for
festivals, food, and jewelry. The constitution of India does not give any language the status of
national language. So, communication among the people is not easy with twenty–two languages in
one country. India consists of diverse ethnic races and groups who strictly follow specific customs.
The cultural diversity of the country is what makes up the discourse customs within the community.
. One factor that creates cultural difference is India's nine religions. Ancient India consisted of three
religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. All three ancient religions are part of the nine religions
today. Statistics have shown that 827 million (80.5%) have returned themselves as followers of
Hindu religion, 138 million (13.4%) as Muslims or the followers of Islam, 24 million (2.3%) as

Impact Of Duritan Era On India
IMPACT OF VICTORIAN ERA ON INDIA: LITERATURE AND LANGUAGES;
STREAMLINING ENGLISH MEDIUM EDUCATION The British Rule lasted for about 200 years
in India (1763–1947). Early on, it started with the East India Company invading and conquering
India and eventually there was a colonial shift of power, from the East India Company to the Crown,
which was under the reign of Queen Victoria. She was an important proponent in transferring
control of India from the East India Company to the British Government in 1858. She was declared
"Empress of India" in 1876 after this shift of power. This process had many long–term effects,
including the increased use of the English language outside of Europe. It is important to realize from
the outset that the Victorian period is quite long. Her reign stretched for about 63 extensive years,
longer than any other British monarch. The period saw the rise of a highly idealized notion of what

Evolution And Contributions Of The Indo-Aryan Family
2.2.3 The Indo–Aryan Influence
Following the Dravidians, came in the band of invaders who called themselves Arya(Sinclair, 1884).
It was during the 2nd millennium B.C. that these invaders made their way into India via north
western borders of India (Emeneau, 1980)(Zograf, 1982). It is this language family that hold the
highest position in the linguistic landscape of India. The Indo–Aryan family is a branch out of the
Indo–European language family which made its way into the Indian soil (Zograf, 1982). The Aryan
impact of the Aryan heritage can be seen substantially in the current Indian culture is a result of its
invasion which had lasted for about 100 years (Zograf, 1982). It is during this phase of invasions
that the Aryan family had brought into India not a single but rather a collection of related and
different languages and dialect (Zograf, 1982). The beginning of the Aryan influence had started
with the language India considers to be the language of their Hindu religion and that is the Vedic
language (Zograf, 1982). The earliest form of Indian texts in which the religious poetries were
written in was known as the Vedas (Zograf, 1982). Slowly came in the next phase of literary
development and came in the language which is considered to be the root of all the Indo–Aryan
languages, Sanskrit (Zograf, 1982). Sanskrit covered the whole of the Indo–Aryan linguistic domain
(Zograf, 1982). Then as the middle of the 1st millennium B.C. came the middle stage of the Indo–

Language And Human Communication
Introduction
Language is the way of human communication. It is how thoughts, feelings, knowledge, opinions,
beliefs, mannerisms and intentions are communicated and shared. Language is typically thought to
just be spoken or written, however it has many depths. Language can be communicated through
gestures, glances, changes in tone of voice and other supplementary communication devices to
emphasize what we say and do (O'Neil, 1998–2009). Humans are the only species to have a known
language communication. Most non–human species can link information between each other
however no other species is known to have such a complex communication structure such as
language (Gee, 2011).
Language can be observed and deconstructed in many ways. It can be viewed as both an object and
a social process. It can be thought of as a set of rules or something physically presented to the world
in way of speech, audio or writings. The denotation of language differs depending on the
demographic, more specially, culture. It is important to understand and accept all differing varieties
of language. Although language is used everyday, it is a very complex tool with many levels.
Language can be both an object to be analysed and a social process
To view language as only an object, it must first be separated from human communication in which
the full meaning of language originates (Grugeon and Gardner, 2000). The National Literacy
Strategy suggests the study of an analogy such as the study of a fish in its

In a multi–cultural country like India, there is a need of common language. Hence, English language
could cater to this need up to a large extent. The development of English language in India can be
divided into pre and post independence of the country. With the arrival of East India Company in
India, English language came in 17th century. The basic purpose of introducing English language
was to accomplish trade with India and other countries in east. Primarily the British people tried to
learn Indian languages so that they could communicate with Indians. They also started special
colleges for this purpose. Meanwhile, they also took the help of the translators. But with the rise of

The role and importance of English Language was also felt after the British people left India.

influence of English language and the difficulty in finding an alternative language acceptable to all
Indians were the main reasons for the arrival of English Language. The University Education
Commission (UGC), under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, was of the opinion that
learning English would help Indians to update themselves with the developments happening in other
parts of the world. English will promote national unity and nationalism. On the other hand, a
language was needed for intra–national and international communication and thus, English was the
best preference. Observing the need of English language, the report of the University Education

Hunger Short Story
Throughout the novella Hunger by Lan Samantha Chang the reader is provided with different stories
of Chinese immigrant parents and their children and how it is that they all struggle to communicate
due to the different languages that are spoken by each member of the family, whether it be music or
an actual language. Although the hardship to communicate between parent and child is an important
problem to discuss there is a voice that is often left out, the voice of the internal and external
struggle that immigrant parents face. An immigrant parent will be faced with more difficulty to
assimilate to their new environment or in the case of Min they will reject the ideas of assimilation,
they create their own world in which their culture and self's remains intact. This leads me to wonder
why else someone would not wish to assimilate and what obstacles come with rejecting their new
environment.
Although it is not explicitly stated throughout the novella Min is reluctant to learn English due to the
fear of losing her culture and herself in the processes. Min's fear of losing herself further emphasizes
the internal struggles that immigrant parents face. Struggles that go unnoticed due to the focus
usually being the offspring and the struggles that they face as a product of immigrant parents.

Nepali Interlanguage Research Essays
Introduction
Nepali belongs to the Indo–Iranian branch of the Indo–European language family and is closely
related to Hindi. It began appearing (in an older form) in what is now Nepal around 300 C.E., when
Hindu Indo–Aryans invaded the area from the south, displacing the Buddhist Kirantis. The now
unified Nepal is made up of over one hundred ethnic groups, each with its own language and
culture. Nepali is the national unifying language and is spoken by most Nepalis as a first or second
language (O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 9). In addition, Nepali is spoken in other areas of the
Himalayan region, including the southern part of Bhutan where it is the language of a substantial

They have the distinct advantage in their new environment of having each other to converse with in
their native tongue, though even their communication with each other has begun to pick up bits and
pieces of an English lexicon.
Nepali acts as a lingua franca in areas throughout the Himalayan region and has a long history of
being imposed through military conquest and sustained by political domination. Because of this,
there are a number of related dialects that are spoken apart from the standard form, though it is
becoming increasingly standardized (Riccardi 2003, 540). It is hard to decipher, given my limited
communicative ability with the students and their young age, whether their idiolects represent a
non–standard variety of the language or are representative of overall tendencies.
Nepali is now one of the official languages of India and, like Hindi, it uses the Devanagari script
(O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 9). The alphabet has 67 characters, most of which, unlike English
orthography, have a single pronunciation (O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 15).

American English Vs. British English
Possible intro in part– There no questioning the diversity of language both in the number of
languages and within each language its self. These varieties, brought on by differences in culture,
class, region and ethnics play a vital role to humanity. It is important for language to change and
adapt because of the Identity it provides culturally, regionally, and ethnically, the efficiency it
provides in translations and usage, and the new concepts it must cover. One of the main benefits of
changes in a language is the Identity provided by those changes. For example in history one large
change in history established a crucial identity, that of the American English vs British English. Due
to the introduction of new fauna and physical features, along with required interactions between
those of different languages and dialects including Spanish, German, Irish and Ameridian, the
English language began to change (). It was during the colonies vie for independence that the sense
of Identity provided by subtle differences in the language became important (). Noah Webster, a
schoolmaster, acknowledged this when Webster established the Federal English as he called it. In his

The use of codeswitching between English and other languages is examined from a sociolinguistic
perspective. It will be shown that codeswitching is instinctive and achieves overarching objectives
such as serving the outcome of speech, defining identity and indirectly delineating aspects of the
relationship between the participants, it 'lubricates' the conversation by making it more 'fluid', and
when English is used, brings clarity and precision, particularly to formal arrangements. Finally

have known each other for many years, and have a much closer working relationship. However the
English words 'paperwork' and 'legal clarification' are used in 2.5, which is otherwise spoken in
Kannada. These are 'loanwords' and fill a vocabulary gap (Ibid. p. 264), for as Jaya says in her
commentary 'I don't even know what the Kannada equivalent is', she refers to them as 'work words'
that are automatically 'embedded' into Kannada. Another example of embedding can be found at 4.9
where 'sixth' is used in a sentence spoken in Kannada, as Jaya comments 'we often embed English
numbers into Kannada'.
At the beginning of excerpt 3 Jaya chooses to use Hindi rather than English, with her brother, who is
on holiday visiting their father in India. Hindi was the language of their childhood in north India and
this allows her to be more personal and rebuke him over her difficulty in reaching him on the

The Importance Of Language In Education
It was during the 1800s that a decision was taken which had ended up being the turning point for the
language in education scenario in India and changed the orientation of language priority in Indian
education. The decision was taken to ignore the vernacular medium education and concentrate
entirely on English as the single language for instruction (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010)(Sridhar, 1989).
It was made clear that those who had attained education in English would be preferred over the
vernacular educated class. English had become the language of higher education and with the
establishment of the prestigious universities in the major cities like Bombay, Calcutta, Madras,
Lahore, Allahabad and Punjab, English had achieved its supremacy (Sridhar, 1989) (Krishnaswamy
& Krishnaswamy, 2006). From this point onwards education came to be equated with English
education and those who studied in vernacular medium were put permanently in the background
(Sridhar, 1989), a mindset prevalent in the mind of Indians even today. Despite the changes which
were made in the language policies in the 1900s to make space for vernacular languages in the
educational setting did not meet with the expected success (Krishnaswamy & Krishnaswamy, 2006)
(Sridhar, 1989). By 1970s and 1980s about one–third of the India had its schools using English as

the mercy of his father and elder sister (Sungi) aged fifteen. His elder sister was married in the same
year, before his mother passed away. Soon after the departure of his mother from this world, his
condition aggravated. It was not because they were in financial strain; rather it was because now,
there was no one who could fill up the gap of his love, which he had for his mother. His father
couldn't give much time to him due to his frequent transfer. His father's transfer took him to different
places, such as sometime at "Gorakphur", sometime at "Kanpur" sometime at "Illahabad", sometime
at "Luknow", sometime at "Jiyanpur" and sometime at "Badalgang". Just because of this tiresome

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Indian Language
After independence in 1947, India adopted Hindi as its national language and decided to make it an
official language too. But in a multilingual country like India, establishing an official language was
not an easy task. There were, however, several problems with selecting Hindi. After independence,
the hatred feelings for British rule indulged with English languages, it reminds Indian mass of the
colonial rulers. However, there was also a section of people who believed that the English language
has contributed somehow in the freedom struggle of India and is having the capacity to do much

Short Stories East By Salman Rushdie
Anyone who has ever had to leave his or her homeland knows how hard it is to begin a new life.
Someone who moves into a new land that has a completely different culture than what they may be
used to, can find it to be frightening as well as challenging. Many people who have found
themselves in this position find that they seem to become a completely different person and forget
who they once were. In Salman Rushdie's book of short stories East, West this seems to be a
common theme. Many of his characters find themselves leaving their homeland in hopes of a better
life, but in doing so start to question who they are. In addressing the postcolonial notions of
hybridity, exile, and nostalgia in the story The Courter, Mary has been used to communicate the
heart of an imaginary homeland.
In the story, Mary was an immigrant from India who with the help of the "Courter" tried to
assimilate to the England way. Throughout the story there is a constant wave of doubt and
frustration between her and her family as they try to learn what it means to live in England. When a
person is born they are born with some sort of identity. This may be their ethnicity, their family's
history, or their personality. When that person leaves the homeland that is fundamentally a part of
them, they in s sense lose a part of themselves. Mary on the other hand seems to have the opposite
problem. Her past is so ingrained that she cannot or does not what to let any of it go. Moving to

The Roles Of Language And Harish Trivedi's Communication...
Communication through language performs a pivotal role in a human life as it sustains it and

human creation. The same information in one language can be communicated differently through
different languages depending on culture, region, religion, politics and above all the society of the

Partly because of the oral traditions and partly due to the destructions of innumerable texts because
of weather conditions, several problems arise when the earlier history of translation is attempted.
The history of translation in India has, according to Ritā Kothāri, three stages: "oral, written and
printed" with "no mechanism for tracing the oral tradition of translation". Further, she adds that "The
written tradition. . . is rooted in medieval India, around the fourteenth and fifteen centuries, when
excerpts from the Sanskrit scriptures began to travel into the 'regional' languages" (Kothāri 2003: 6–
7). However, it is believed that, as Krishnamurthy notes, the first requirement "for inter–language
communication in the subcontinent probably arose through trade" (Krishnamurthy 1998: 464).
Kautilya, known as Chānakya (c. 370–283 BC), a minister to Chandragupta Maurya (c. 340–298
BC), in the 4th century BC wrote "a treatise on statecraft" indicating "the status that the translator
might have had during this period" without the use of a word translator but "scribes" (Ibid: 465).
Thus, this activity of translation as a discourse offers India more opportunities due to its multilingual
status, whereas the possibility of translation in the West is less due to its monolingual status. Thus, it

The British East India Company
The British East India Company first gained power in Bengal in 1757, after the Battle of Plassey,
when the Nawab of Bengal Siraj ud–Daulah surrendered his dominions to the Company. By 1773,
when the Company settled their capital in Calcutta, they appointed their first Governor–General,
Warren Hastings, and henceforth became directly involved in the governance of almost all of
India.When it came to the education policies that the Company implemented in India, not every
Governor–General had the same beliefs. Hastings was considered an Orientalist because he
supported the traditional/Oriental learning that was already in India. The Orientalists were later
opposed by advocates of a different approach to education in India called Anglicists. The Anglicists
were supporters of instruction in the English language in order to teach Indians modern Western
knowledge. This paper will be examining how The British East India Company, during its period of

Importance Of English Language
3.1 Introduction
English is a language which can be traced back to the 5th century by migration and resettlement of
its speakers into the different parts of the world. Beginning its foundation of the American colonies
into Europe and into the 17th century with its establishment of the East India Company (Paranjpe &
Prasad, 2010). The 200 years of presence that English had in India left a huge impression on its
language orientation. Both attitudinally and linguistically English has made its place into the new
cultural environment and fresh communicative needs. Despite the government's support towards
Hindi, the language inculcating the largest number of speakers under it compared to the other Indian
Languages has not yet been able to take up the prestige that English holds in India. India's larger
population is bilingual with proficiency in English. Today it has earned the privilege as the language
of the world's developed countries, their technologies and economy (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010). It is
the very reason that this language has caught the attention of the future generations irrespective of
their home country to put English at the pedestal and give development of their native tongue a
second place. The provision that English gives on the professional front is too strong as compared to
any of the other languages in India. It has not only acquired a wide range of functions in the Indian

crossing the boundaries and achieve universal appeal by finding a middle path to make the film

This group of audience became the niche audience for Hindi filmmakers featured by smaller budget

India 's National Language, Pakistan
There was incredible suffering that the Partion of India caused in areas of Birtish India through

clearly reveals this sense of bewilderment,"Toba Tek Singh" was written in Urdu, Pakistan's national

Pakistan's capital. The story recounts the effects of partition on a very particular portion of the
population.
The 1955 short story, writen by Saadat Hasan Manto, was based on inmates of lunatic asylums being
split in the wake of the Partition – with Hindu and Sikh inmates being transferred to India and
Muslim inmates going to Pakistan. It focused on a particular inmate, Bishan Singh. Bishan Singh is
a Sikh inmate who, fifteen years earlier, had gone mad and was admitted to the asylum by his
family. Everyone in the asylum called him Toba Tek Singh, the name of his village. Almost bald, his
legs swollen, because he is always seen standing and occasionally leaning against the wall, he had
the habit of speaking this nonsensical phrase, "Uper the gur gur the annexe the bay dhayana the

sometimes I'll forget what a word is in English and I'll only be able to remember it in another

Four Inter-Family Influences Of The Indo Aryan Language
Hence if we look at all the Indo Aryan languages, one aspect if quite clear is that they are all
derivatives of Sanskrit (Sebeok, 1963) which in turn have their roots set in Greek and Latin and
made its way into Indian soil via the Indo–Europeans (Sebeok, 1963). Out of all these Indo Aryan
languages, Hindi is considered to be the most progressive, as it is the most analytical followed by
Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi, Marathi, Bengali, and Oriya (Sebeok, 1963).
2.2.4 Inter–Family Influences
No languages can be given the title of pure language being devoid of any form of influence or mix
from languages belonging to their neighbouring boundaries or languages it might have come in
contact within the course of time. With the number of language families existing in the same soil
over the number of years, there is bound to be influences of one on another. For example, the Indo–
Aryan languages have quite a few Non–Indo–Aryan borrowings (Bagchi, Levi and Bloch, 1929). It
must be remembered that the Aryans had come into the Indian soil after the Dravidians and Tibeto–
Burma family already residing in the North–western regions of India. It is seen that the ancient
Indo–Aryan language Sanskrit has strand of Pre–Aryan languages namely, the Dravidian and Munda
language (Sebeok, 1963). While the Tibeto–Burma influence is said to have come in while the

India Unity In Diversity In India

  • 1. India Unity In Diversity In India India is described as a country which is "a Unity is Diversity" because it is comprised of a wide variety of individuals who belong to different religions, speak different languages, practice different traditions, have different castes, worship different gods, wear different clothing, and eat different foods. Although India is comprised of all these different individuals and their diverse traits and practices, these individuals live together in peace and harmony in India. Furthermore, the people of India are governed by one central authority and have one Prime Minister, President, Supreme Court, and Army Chief. Hinduism is the main religion practiced in India; however, there are followers of Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, and Parsees. The people of India practice different religions but majority of them believe in the theory of Dharma and Karma. This theory includes salvation, rebirth, purification the soul, good for good, and bad for bad. Furthermore, the people of India come together to celebrate festivals and cultural celebrations. Even Indian philosophy contributes to the idea that India is "a Unity in Diversity." There is difference in the overall conceptions of gods and ways of worshipping but Indians still maintain the fear of heaven and hell. Many ethics groups coexist in India as well. However, within each ethnic group, views on rituals, marriage, and castes remain the same. Also, many languages are spoken in India, but Sanskrit still maintains ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Different people can communicate with one another with the help of English. Secondly, all advanced knowledge in science, technology and medicine is available in English.

Our approach to language teaching should then be such that students are enabled to use English for the purposes they would need to use it. English has respectable place in the society. A person is not a considered educated if he does have the fair knowledge of English. It has an established sociolinguistic fact that no one learns a second language unless there is need for it. English is perhaps best when it is the medium of instruction. This explains why more and more people want English medium schooling for their children. English medium schools have become synonymous with good teaching, better discipline, accountability, etc. So the mushrooming of English medium schools is as much an indicator of the common man's desire for good teaching of English as ; of quality education generally, there is a social demand for English.

  • 5. A Discourse Community In Indi A Discourse Community? India: A Discourse Community Accomplishing goals through intercommunication among members of a community is one characteristic that makes up a discourse community. A discourse community has six characteristics such as having a broadly agreed set of goals, a participatory mechanism to provide information or feedback, acquiring a specific level of language, and members with a suitable degree of relevant content. The community that is a community discourse is India. India occupies the greater part of South Asia and consists of twenty–nine states. India is most known for festivals, food, and jewelry. The constitution of India does not give any language the status of national language. So, communication among the people is not easy with twenty–two languages in one country. India consists of diverse ethnic races and groups who strictly follow specific customs. The cultural diversity of the country is what makes up the discourse customs within the community. . One factor that creates cultural difference is India's nine religions. Ancient India consisted of three religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. All three ancient religions are part of the nine religions today. Statistics have shown that 827 million (80.5%) have returned themselves as followers of Hindu religion, 138 million (13.4%) as Muslims or the followers of Islam, 24 million (2.3%) as Christians, 19 million (1.9%) as Sikh, 8 million (0.80%) as Buddhists and 4 million (0.4%) are Jain (Religion).

Impact Of Duritan Era On India IMPACT OF VICTORIAN ERA ON INDIA: LITERATURE AND LANGUAGES; STREAMLINING ENGLISH MEDIUM EDUCATION The British Rule lasted for about 200 years in India (1763–1947). Early on, it started with the East India Company invading and conquering India and eventually there was a colonial shift of power, from the East India Company to the Crown, which was under the reign of Queen Victoria. She was an important proponent in transferring control of India from the East India Company to the British Government in 1858. She was declared "Empress of India" in 1876 after this shift of power. This process had many long–term effects, including the increased use of the English language outside of Europe. It is important to realize from the outset that the Victorian period is quite long. Her reign stretched for about 63 extensive years, longer than any other British monarch. The period saw the rise of a highly idealized notion of what is "English" or what constitutes an "Englishman". ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... They employed the strategy of emotional and intellectual colonization in India to consolidate the political colonization expecting the malleable Indians to learn, speak and believe English and become shadows of Englishmen. The cunning colonial government selected the education system as the instrument for hitting the target. Since 1813, the planned enterprise started and was given a precise dimension with the formulation of T.B Macaulay's "The Minute on Indian Education" in Feb 1835. Macaulay in his Minute completely ridiculed the Indian languages and called them dialects, labeling them as rude and poor. He stated "I have never found one (oriental scholar) among them who could deny that a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and ...

  • 9. Evolution And Contributions Of The Indo-Aryan Family 2.2.3 The Indo–Aryan Influence Following the Dravidians, came in the band of invaders who called themselves Arya(Sinclair, 1884). It was during the 2nd millennium B.C. that these invaders made their way into India via north western borders of India (Emeneau, 1980)(Zograf, 1982). It is this language family that hold the highest position in the linguistic landscape of India. The Indo–Aryan family is a branch out of the Indo–European language family which made its way into the Indian soil (Zograf, 1982). The Aryan impact of the Aryan heritage can be seen substantially in the current Indian culture is a result of its invasion which had lasted for about 100 years (Zograf, 1982). It is during this phase of invasions that the Aryan family had brought into India not a single but rather a collection of related and different languages and dialect (Zograf, 1982). The beginning of the Aryan influence had started with the language India considers to be the language of their Hindu religion and that is the Vedic language (Zograf, 1982). The earliest form of Indian texts in which the religious poetries were written in was known as the Vedas (Zograf, 1982). Slowly came in the next phase of literary development and came in the language which is considered to be the root of all the Indo–Aryan languages, Sanskrit (Zograf, 1982). Sanskrit covered the whole of the Indo–Aryan linguistic domain (Zograf, 1982). Then as the middle of the 1st millennium B.C. came the middle stage of the Indo– Aryan ...

  • 13. Language And Human Communication Introduction Language is the way of human communication. It is how thoughts, feelings, knowledge, opinions, beliefs, mannerisms and intentions are communicated and shared. Language is typically thought to just be spoken or written, however it has many depths. Language can be communicated through gestures, glances, changes in tone of voice and other supplementary communication devices to emphasize what we say and do (O'Neil, 1998–2009). Humans are the only species to have a known language communication. Most non–human species can link information between each other however no other species is known to have such a complex communication structure such as language (Gee, 2011). Language can be observed and deconstructed in many ways. It can be viewed as both an object and a social process. It can be thought of as a set of rules or something physically presented to the world in way of speech, audio or writings. The denotation of language differs depending on the demographic, more specially, culture. It is important to understand and accept all differing varieties of language. Although language is used everyday, it is a very complex tool with many levels. Language can be both an object to be analysed and a social process To view language as only an object, it must first be separated from human communication in which the full meaning of language originates (Grugeon and Gardner, 2000).

The development of English language in India can be divided into pre and post independence of the country. With the arrival of East India Company in India, English language came in 17th century. The basic purpose of introducing English language was to accomplish trade with India and other countries in east. Primarily the British people tried to learn Indian languages so that they could communicate with Indians. They also started special colleges for this purpose.

English has been the medium of instruction in colleges, universities and many schools. The growing influence of English language and the difficulty in finding an alternative language acceptable to all Indians were the main reasons for the arrival of English Language. The University Education Commission (UGC), under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, was of the opinion that learning English would help Indians to update themselves with the developments happening in other parts of the world. English will promote national unity and nationalism. On the other hand, a language was needed for intra–national and international communication and thus, English was the best preference. Observing the need of English language, the report of the University Education Commission (1950) suggested that the teaching of English should be continued for higher education purposes.

Did you know that India has 350 million English speakers, making it the largest English–speaking nation in the world? It is a linguistic power that is dominating many countries, especially India. In India, mainly in the provincial cities, English words are increasingly used in daily speech, influencing the Indian culture and Indian society.

Hunger Short Story Throughout the novella Hunger by Lan Samantha Chang the reader is provided with different stories of Chinese immigrant parents and their children and how it is that they all struggle to communicate due to the different languages that are spoken by each member of the family, whether it be music or an actual language. Although the hardship to communicate between parent and child is an important problem to discuss there is a voice that is often left out, the voice of the internal and external struggle that immigrant parents face. An immigrant parent will be faced with more difficulty to assimilate to their new environment or in the case of Min they will reject the ideas of assimilation, they create their own world in which their culture and self's remains intact. This leads me to wonder why else someone would not wish to assimilate and what obstacles come with rejecting their new environment. Although it is not explicitly stated throughout the novella Min is reluctant to learn English due to the fear of losing her culture and herself in the processes. Min's fear of losing herself further emphasizes the internal struggles that immigrant parents face. Struggles that go unnoticed due to the focus usually being the offspring and the struggles that they face as a product of immigrant parents.

It began appearing (in an older form) in what is now Nepal around 300 C.E., when Hindu Indo–Aryans invaded the area from the south, displacing the Buddhist Kirantis. The now unified Nepal is made up of over one hundred ethnic groups, each with its own language and culture. Nepali is the national unifying language and is spoken by most Nepalis as a first or second language (O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 9). In addition, Nepali is spoken in other areas of the Himalayan region, including the southern part of Bhutan where it is the language of a substantial and oppressed minority called the Lhotshampa (Riccardi 2003, ...

They have the distinct advantage in their new environment of having each other to converse with in their native tongue, though even their communication with each other has begun to pick up bits and pieces of an English lexicon. Nepali acts as a lingua franca in areas throughout the Himalayan region and has a long history of being imposed through military conquest and sustained by political domination. Because of this, there are a number of related dialects that are spoken apart from the standard form, though it is becoming increasingly standardized (Riccardi 2003, 540). It is hard to decipher, given my limited communicative ability with the students and their young age, whether their idiolects represent a non–standard variety of the language or are representative of overall tendencies. Nepali is now one of the official languages of India and, like Hindi, it uses the Devanagari script (O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 9). The alphabet has 67 characters, most of which, unlike English orthography, have a single pronunciation (O'Rourke and Shrestha 2008, 15).

These varieties, brought on by differences in culture, class, region and ethnics play a vital role to humanity. It is important for language to change and adapt because of the Identity it provides culturally, regionally, and ethnically, the efficiency it provides in translations and usage, and the new concepts it must cover. One of the main benefits of changes in a language is the Identity provided by those changes. For example in history one large change in history established a crucial identity, that of the American English vs British English. Due to the introduction of new fauna and physical features, along with required interactions between those of different languages and dialects including Spanish, German, Irish and Ameridian, the English language began to change ().

It will be shown that codeswitching is instinctive and achieves overarching objectives such as serving the outcome of speech, defining identity and indirectly delineating aspects of the relationship between the participants, it 'lubricates' the conversation by making it more 'fluid', and when English is used, brings clarity and precision, particularly to formal arrangements. Finally codeswitching from English as a component of 'metrolinguistics' will be considered in relation to the data provided. The extracts are between G. D.

This assertion might be challenged on the grounds of the need for a spontaneous response in a telephone call, giving insufficient time for a 'considered' language choice. The second extract, between Jaya and Prathiba is conducted almost entirely in Kannada, as they have known each other for many years, and have a much closer working relationship. However the English words 'paperwork' and 'legal clarification' are used in 2.5, which is otherwise spoken in Kannada. These are 'loanwords' and fill a vocabulary gap (Ibid. p. 264), for as Jaya says in her commentary 'I don't even know what the Kannada equivalent is', she refers to them as 'work words' that are automatically 'embedded' into Kannada. Another example of embedding can be found at 4.9 where 'sixth' is used in a sentence spoken in Kannada, as Jaya comments 'we often embed English numbers into Kannada'. At the beginning of excerpt 3 Jaya chooses to use Hindi rather than English, with her brother, who is on holiday visiting their father in India. Hindi was the language of their childhood in north India and this allows her to be more personal and rebuke him over her difficulty in reaching him on the telephone, so using Hindi in 3.1 she says 'and then I spoke to the entire world'.

  • 37. The Importance Of Language In Education It was during the 1800s that a decision was taken which had ended up being the turning point for the language in education scenario in India and changed the orientation of language priority in Indian education. The decision was taken to ignore the vernacular medium education and concentrate entirely on English as the single language for instruction (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010)(Sridhar, 1989). It was made clear that those who had attained education in English would be preferred over the vernacular educated class. English had become the language of higher education and with the establishment of the prestigious universities in the major cities like Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Lahore, Allahabad and Punjab, English had achieved its supremacy (Sridhar, 1989) (Krishnaswamy & Krishnaswamy, 2006). From this point onwards education came to be equated with English education and those who studied in vernacular medium were put permanently in the background (Sridhar, 1989), a mindset prevalent in the mind of Indians even today. Despite the changes which were made in the language policies in the 1900s to make space for vernacular languages in the educational setting did not meet with the expected success (Krishnaswamy & Krishnaswamy, 2006) (Sridhar, 1989). By 1970s and 1980s about one–third of the India had its schools using English as their medium of instruction (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010).

Someone who moves into a new land that has a completely different culture than what they may be used to, can find it to be frightening as well as challenging. Many people who have found themselves in this position find that they seem to become a completely different person and forget who they once were. In Salman Rushdie's book of short stories East, West this seems to be a common theme. Many of his characters find themselves leaving their homeland in hopes of a better life, but in doing so start to question who they are. In addressing the postcolonial notions of hybridity, exile, and nostalgia in the story The Courter, Mary has been used to communicate the heart of an imaginary homeland. In the story, Mary was an immigrant from India who with the help of the "Courter" tried to assimilate to the England way. Throughout the story there is a constant wave of doubt and frustration between her and her family as they try to learn what it means to live in England. When a person is born they are born with some sort of identity. This may be their ethnicity, their family's history, or their personality. When that person leaves the homeland that is fundamentally a part of them, they in s sense lose a part of themselves. Mary on the other hand seems to have the opposite problem.

Further, she adds that "The written tradition. . . is rooted in medieval India, around the fourteenth and fifteen centuries, when excerpts from the Sanskrit scriptures began to travel into the 'regional' languages" (Kothāri 2003: 6– 7). However, it is believed that, as Krishnamurthy notes, the first requirement "for inter–language communication in the subcontinent probably arose through trade" (Krishnamurthy 1998: 464). Kautilya, known as Chānakya (c. 370–283 BC), a minister to Chandragupta Maurya (c. 340–298 BC), in the 4th century BC wrote "a treatise on statecraft" indicating "the status that the translator might have had during this period" without the use of a word translator but "scribes" (Ibid: 465).

Beginning its foundation of the American colonies into Europe and into the 17th century with its establishment of the East India Company (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010). The 200 years of presence that English had in India left a huge impression on its language orientation. Both attitudinally and linguistically English has made its place into the new cultural environment and fresh communicative needs. Despite the government's support towards Hindi, the language inculcating the largest number of speakers under it compared to the other Indian Languages has not yet been able to take up the prestige that English holds in India. India's larger population is bilingual with proficiency in English. Today it has earned the privilege as the language of the world's developed countries, their technologies and economy (Paranjpe & Prasad, 2010). It is the very reason that this language has caught the attention of the future generations irrespective of their home country to put English at the pedestal and give development of their native tongue a second place.

She has successfully been able to assert herself through her poems.

Why English is used in Bollywood films? 1.The role of English in India society After India gained independence, the status of English was not dwindled or lowered.

The intensive success of box offices of Hindi film outside the India characterized its international feature. As for its audience, Bollywood film makers have been attempting to attract audience crossing the boundaries and achieve universal appeal by finding a middle path to make the film catering for any audience (Ganti, T. 2013)..Therefore, English –based dialogues in Bollywood films seems to contribute to appealing wider audiences in terms of region, social status and taste. Since 2000, a new audience category appeared on the Bollywood vocabulary which is called multiplexes. This group of audience became the niche audience for Hindi filmmakers featured by smaller budget and appeal for elite urban lifestyles and preference to westernized and various themed movies other than traditional dancing and singing. This led to the growth of making English movies like the breakthrough movie –– Bachchan's 2005 film Black, a smash hit based on the life story of a girl who transcended the twin disabilities of blindness and deafness. Loosely based on the experiences of Helen Keller, Black was a Hindi movie, but a large part of the dialogue was in English.

India 's National Language, Pakistan There was incredible suffering that the Partion of India caused in areas of Birtish India through exchanges of population ...Dealing in various ways with the human tragedy endured by people on both sides of this newly created border. One of the best, and perhaps most famous, partition story clearly reveals this sense of bewilderment,"Toba Tek Singh" was written in Urdu, Pakistan's national language, by Sadat Hasan Manto, a Kashmiri who left his home in 1948 and moved to Karachi, Pakistan's capital. The story recounts the effects of partition on a very particular portion of the population. The 1955 short story, writen by Saadat Hasan Manto, was based on inmates of lunatic asylums being split in the wake of the Partition – with Hindu and Sikh inmates being transferred to India and Muslim inmates going to Pakistan. It focused on a particular inmate, Bishan Singh. Bishan Singh is a Sikh inmate who, fifteen years earlier, had gone mad and was admitted to the asylum by his family. Everyone in the asylum called him Toba Tek Singh, the name of his village. Almost bald, his legs swollen, because he is always seen standing and occasionally leaning against the wall, he had the habit of speaking this nonsensical phrase, "Uper the gur gur the annexe the bay dhayana the mung the dal of the laltain." No one could understand what the gibberish meant but it may be the message Manto tries to display, that the partion is nonsense. From the story we learn a little bit about Bishan's family and ...

And there are judgments from onlookers. I constantly feel as if there is an invisible standard for what I should be able to do. I've lived my entire life in Dallas, yet English is my second language, but people don't expect that from me when I tell them. There is an expectation here, as well as one in India. When I talk to people in America, sometimes I'll forget what a word is in English and I'll only be able to remember it in another language. Likewise, when I speak Hindi, Kannada, or Marathi (depending on which side of my family) with my family back in India, I speak broken English because there are some words that I can't seem to remember. While reading the poem Persimmons by Li–young Lee in class, I felt a connection between me and the poem; I found something that I could relate to. Li–young, moved to the US from China when he was a child. Coming from a place where he solely spoke Chinese to a new country where everyone speaks English was a drastic change. He slowly learned new words in English, while simultaneously burying the Chinese words underneath them. "Crickets: chiu chiu. Dew: I've forgotten. / Naked: I've forgotten." (23–4) Analogous to Li–Young, I have the same struggle(s) with language(s) every summer when I go to India for three months. Every time I visited, I realized how little I knew, I'd pick up ...

Four Inter-Family Influences Of The Indo Aryan Language Hence if we look at all the Indo Aryan languages, one aspect if quite clear is that they are all derivatives of Sanskrit (Sebeok, 1963) which in turn have their roots set in Greek and Latin and made its way into Indian soil via the Indo–Europeans (Sebeok, 1963). Out of all these Indo Aryan languages, Hindi is considered to be the most progressive, as it is the most analytical followed by Punjabi, Gujarati, Sindhi, Marathi, Bengali, and Oriya (Sebeok, 1963). 2.2.4 Inter–Family Influences No languages can be given the title of pure language being devoid of any form of influence or mix from languages belonging to their neighbouring boundaries or languages it might have come in contact within the course of time. With the number of language families existing in the same soil over the number of years, there is bound to be influences of one on another. For example, the Indo– Aryan languages have quite a few Non–Indo–Aryan borrowings (Bagchi, Levi and Bloch, 1929). It must be remembered that the Aryans had come into the Indian soil after the Dravidians and Tibeto– Burma family already residing in the North–western regions of India. It is seen that the ancient Indo–Aryan language Sanskrit has strand of Pre–Aryan languages namely, the Dravidian and Munda language (Sebeok, 1963). While the Tibeto–Burma influence is said to have come in while the Aryans were coming in from the Northern boundaries of India.
