    Hinglish

    Hinglish

    This might seem as being an unusual way of beginning an essay; but the best part about this is people are not perceiving it to be unusual at all. People here refer to 1,170,938,000 Indians, with few exceptions of children and the ones totally oblivious of English language. None the less, the numbers speak for itself and there have been claims that HINGLISH, a mixture of Hindi and English, may soon become the most common form of the “Queen's language”. According to a British expert Professor David Crystal, 350 million Indians speak “hinglish” and it is soon to exceed the number of native English Speakers in Britain and the US. He further states the cause for this tremendous hike as being a collective-increasing popularity of “Bollywood” and Indian culture. This means not only is “hinglish” limited to India but the popularity might just escalate this trend to a more global scale. Such escalation seems very predictable as the process has already started; yearly, more and more Indian words are being added to the English dictionary. Apart from words, phrases such as “Yeh dil mange more”, “Do one thing Na” or “time-pass” bring out the true essence of “hinglish” and its role in “Indianism”. “Hinglish” itself contains a wide variety of characteristics ranging from amusing use of Indian words in English context to absurd grammatical errors of English in Indian context. Likely so, “hinglish” is a near to perfect blend of amusement, absurdity and quite a considerable number of people speaking it on a daily basis.…

    A Comparative Study of Sindhi and Sanskrit Language Journalism

    Or does it have something to do with the people who speak the language? This study will draw a parallel between two different languages and journalism in these languages-­‐ Sindhi and Sanskrit.

    English an Obstacle in the Development of Native Languages and Culture

    Before independence, our rulers-the British had a definite policy in keeping us uneducated. They had seen a successful experiment in Africa, naming it the Dark Continent, a overpopulated teeming mass of handy slave like labour who never questioned their authority, asked for their rights or objected to be treated worse than animals. All because of their lack of literacy. The advantage with India was that 80% of our population resided in the villages, with an overwhelming majority dependent on agricultural farm for food and income. It was also in the interest of the landowners and moneylenders to have the farmers illiterate so that they could be exploited, their possessions grabbed and exhorbitant interests charged on petty loans. This is how these farmers ended up as bonded labour over a period of time.…
