You ar...Hi Pradeep, long time indeed! How are you?<br /><br />You are right about language. But then, I feel these questions of identity, language, regionism need to be re-examined in the light of globalization. Where people of my generation and those before me were multi-lingual, I find several children these days knowing only English.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing out, about that link. Had forgotten to put it up.

Long time...
I can imagine your f...Hello Deepa... Long time... <br /><br />I can imagine your feelings about journalism when you say, "... it is that first love that you never really get over. It is an addiction of sorts.." For, I came to this profession by choice.<br /><br />I am glad you have got an opportunity to write in Kindle. Read the article on URA. You have captured the multiple dimensions of his persona. <br /><br />Personally, my view is that we need language and not the other way round. Multiplicity of vibrant local languages is what India is all about. So, setting up of institutes to enable people to easily learn the local language of a particular state, is one thing that no administrator or politician seems to be bothered about. Such initiatives will work better to strengthen our local languages rather than some token measures. <br /><br />When I see so much strife around issues like language, community, religion, caste, etc.. I wonder if we have got it all right or not.<br /><br />By the way, I didn't find the link to your article in Kindle. You have given the link to Kindle though.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.com
