Importance of Many Languages in भारत/India


Positive Aspects

1. It helps in the decentralization of administrative power, for example the Indian States have been divided on the basis of regional language.
2. It helps in identification of nativity and controls the negative impacts of migrations like unwanted breeding, disrupting the existing socio-economic conditions, checking the “Mass madness” of common people, Religion and Caste based violence, Naxalism, etc.
3. It controls competition and creates niche market opportunities.
·        Regional language TV and Radio Channels, Regional language newspapers and magazines, Regional language Cinemas, etc.
·        Creates Job Opportunities for the locals.
·        It creates opportunities for creativities and innovations: for example Carnatic music is often used in Hindi Cinemas and Hindustani music in the South Indian films. Ideas of many forms of social reforms, fashions and designs start from one linguistic region and become popular in the other linguistic region. Popularity of Google, Microsoft, Wikipedia, etc. has increased after providing services in regional languages.

Negative Aspects

1.      Threat to the unity of the country: Regionalism rising over the Nationalism.
2.      Checks the positive impacts of migrations like beneficial cross breeding between societies and people.
3.      Problem in expansion of the business.
4.      Discriminations and Violence on the basis of language.
5.      Disputes in sharing of natural resources and human resources. Example Kaveri water dispute, Violence over migration of one state (under developed) people to another state (developed) for education, work, etc.

  2. Dear Meson, though all languages in the 8th schedule of our constitution are the national language, Here I have stressed on only that languages which are not just limited to one or two states of the country, but are used in many states of the country.
    Thanks
