Yes it is possible to carry pride in one’s language too far. We should not only feel good for our own language but for others as well. One should not disrespect other’s language to give importance to one’s own language. We must respect all languages and culture as it binds us together. India being a nation with 121 languages and 19,500 dialects we should teach our next generation to respect each other’s language.

What happens to a linguistic minority in a state? How do you think they can keep their language alive? For example:
Minorities in any state obviously feel a bit isolated. They feel very good when they get someone from their state. They talk on various issues from politics to religion or from food to clothes in own language. They make their own world in a foreign state. But India is a country of Unity in diversityRead more
Minorities in any state obviously feel a bit isolated. They feel very good when they get someone from their state. They talk on various issues from politics to religion or from food to clothes in own language. They make their own world in a foreign state. But India is a country of Unity in diversity. It’s a country of All in One and One in All. Here minorities are not discriminated on the basis of physical, culture, gender, social, religious, political, ideologies.
They can keep their language alive by celebrating regional festivals like harvest festival (Onam) of Kerala in August/September in other parts of the country as well. Elders should tell their next generation about their rituals, language, culture and tradition.

When a people are enslaved, as long as they hold fast to their language it is as if they had the key to their prison. Can you think of examples in history where a conquered people had their language taken away from them or had a language imposed on them?

It is extremely important for any individual to have sound know how of your mother language. If they are not good in their native language it can create trouble for them in their own country or overseas. If a country attacks another country and takes its people captive, then it is very important to have good knowledge of language. This is because the attacking country will not know your language and you can always make planning and dodge them. However, today almost all countries have accepted English as their primary language for communication. But in previous century of invasion and slavery this problem was severe and imposing language was a natural thing.
For example – Pondicherry, where the French East India Company had imposed the people to learn French.

Franz thinks, Will they make them sing in German, even the pigeons? What could this mean?
Franz a little boy like many other French citizens had little or no interest in their native language. When he came to know about government orders, he felt pity for all French people.

Franz a little boy like many other French citizens had little or no interest in their native language. When he came to know about government orders, he felt pity for all French people. He started thinking that this rule can only run on humans. He thinks so because his eyes fall on a pigeon sitting outside the classroom and he is forced to think if such law can be enforced on animals and birds. The answer was certainly NO because they aren’t slaves, they have no enmity with anyone and they were free to roam across any borders. Then why such compulsion on humans. All such thoughts disturbed him.

The people in this story realize the importance of their language when orders came from government that in two French districts Alsace & Lorraine no one will read or write their mother tongue i.e. French language. Till now they used to take this language lightly and had little interest in it. This is because the value of anything is known when it is lost. This is the prime reason that all villagers had come to listen to M Hamel who was teaching last lesson in school.
