Linguistic Diversity in India : An Outlook

Author(s) Vibhav Vasudeva
Country India
Abstract Rabindranath Tagore quoted, “If God had so wished, he would have made all Indians speak with one language…the unity of India…always be unity in diversity”. Language is more than just a tool for communication; it preserves culture and imparts knowledge. Individuals express their deepest feelings and thoughts through their language. A nation without its own language lacks culture and civilization. Various languages in India are at risk of decline in the near future. This article emphasizes the significance of language in personal life and highlights the contributions of the esteemed linguistic scholar, the late Prof. Bh Krishnamurti, whose sole passion was language and linguistics. It explores the distribution of languages in India and presents data on the country's linguistic diversity, underscoring the importance of protecting and nurturing minority languages. The article delves into the Three Language Formula and discusses constitutional provisions and affirmative actions essential for safeguarding minority languages. It references key judgments from the Hon’ble Supreme Court and High Courts related to this matter. Additionally, the article reviews various reports and commissions dedicated to protecting linguistic minorities and examines the impact of linguistic diversity on the development of different regions in India.
Keywords Diversity, Language, Minorities, Constitution, Reports, Commissions, Development, Three language formula.
