Abstract | This paper examines the crucial role of language as a tool for social cohesion and cultural identity in Indian society, known for its remarkable linguistic diversity, which includes over 1,600 languages. Language serves not only as a means of communication but also as a vital component of individual and collective identity, shaping how communities interact and bond. The study traces the historical development of languages in India, highlighting the significance of major languages like Hindi, Bengali, and Tamil, along with various regional dialects that reflect the rich cultural heritage of their speakers. It analyzes how shared linguistic experiences foster unity among diverse communities while addressing contemporary challenges such as globalization, language preservation, and policy implications. By incorporating case studies from regions such as Tamil Nadu, Punjab, and Northeast India, the research illustrates how language enhances social cohesion and serves as a medium for cultural expression. Ultimately, the paper asserts that language is a powerful instrument that not only forges social connections but also enriches the collective identity of Indian society in an increasingly interconnected world. |
