Description
India’s spectacular linguistic diversity is not just a collection of different alphabets and dialects—it is the very foundation of its existence as a continuous civilization. The intricate, winding trajectories of our languages are deeply intertwined with the evolution of the Indian identity, collective imagination, and intellectual history. Yet, attempting to map this vast ecosystem is a monumental endeavor; with thousands of languages having existed across millennia, it is virtually impossible to pinpoint a single origin or trace a single linear narrative.
In this path-breaking and ambitious work, India: A Linguistic Civilization, celebrated academic, activist, and intellectual Dr. G. N. Devy lays bare the profound mysteries, intricacies, and political realities of India’s linguistic past, present, and future. Setting the evolution of speech against the larger historical canvas of human progress, Dr. Devy masterfully demonstrates how waves of migration, the dawn of agriculture, changing settlement patterns, the rise of religious sects, cultural resistance, and centuries of British colonization have permanently sculpted our linguistic heritage.
