multilingual nature of india atfects every aspects of its national life justify the statement
Answers
Answer:
India has become a land of many tongues and has been called “as a tower of veritable languages” or a “Museum of languages”. In 1950, the States in India were reorganized on linguistic basis. As a result, the domiciles of a particular state speak a particular language. The Constitution of India has approved of 22 languages.
In India we find a number of languages. India has also been called a “Tower of Babel”. This multilingual nature of the country affects every aspect of her national life. But linguistic diversity was not a great problem in the past since Sanskrit in the beginning, later Persian and during last hundred years English served as link languages.
At present the language problem has become so acute that it has posed a major threat to national integration. Most often linguistic tensions are being manifested in the borders which are bilingual.
For example, in Belgaum there is a tug of war between Marathi and Kannada speaking people. Assam confronted with Bengali and Assamese. Although Hindi has been recognized as the national language, this has promoted bitter hostilities, particularly in the South. Language problem has never been as intensely felt as it is today. Even Bihar and Utter Pradesh are not free from the linguistic problems. Further, conflict tends to persist among the Urdu, Hindi and Oriya linguistic groups and Urdu and Hindi speaking people respectively.
