Sadhguru
said that we need to understand that there are 25 or 30 different languages in India. If we add up all the dialects then there are 1300 dialects,
but at least twenty-five to thirty full-fledged languages with a script of
their own, with a huge body of literature behind it. A perfect language does
not happen overnight.
The oldest
language on the planet is the Tamil language. Language is a very important part
of human intelligence. Many linguists around the world have recognized the
power of language. The human ability to use language essentially is rooted in
India. It's from here the ability to use the language came to the rest of the
world.
Almost all
the languages which are largely we know Europe and Arab. All of them in Europe
and Arabia had Sanskrit influence. So, in our eagerness to just get a job, we
don't have to completely destroy these languages. We will lose out something
very big.
English is a
fantastic thing in terms of its simplicity because the internet and we know,
modern technology has taken to English language, it is a must. Nobody can be
against English anymore, you got to take it. Even if you don't like the
British, you have to like the English language. This is now part of our
language, the good work we have done. Although many bad things happened during
the British rule, one good thing is that we have integrated language.
Today many
educated Indians can speak better English than most British can speak. It's a
good thing, but at the same time, we should never kill our languages, which
have been here for thousands of years. Because the phonetic range that is there
in Indian languages is such, it stimulates every aspect of who you are.
The English
language has a very narrow phonetic range. So, this ability to use sounds to stimulate
and trigger one's intelligence and energy within ourselves is something that we
should not give up. Every child needs to know a language other than English.
Because our states are divided on a linguistic basis, so in that state whatever
the language is, they must know. With our utmost passion for Job Oriented
Education. Sadhguru replied more on it that he knows many schools are
completely destroying the local languages, this should not happen. Local
language must be there, it must be a part of us.
At least
people should know how to speak and read, if not then we are not great, we
don't know how to write great literature; at least we must know how to read and
speak one more language other than the English language. Our education policy
has considered that. It is the responsibility of every school to ensure that
happens.
Sadhguru
said that he feels the easier way to do it is, there maybe you are studying
science, in an English medium, they are largely studying the English language,
but we could make some play, some theatre, some art, something in local
languages so that people uses that as a social thing. It is imperative to use
it as a form of entertainment with a natural interest in how to express oneself
in that language.
Sadhguru
added that we should not kill these languages because it's taken thousands of
years to create. This is our national pride that we have the maximum number of
languages. There are no geographical separations; there are no oceans between
these states, there are no mountain ranges clearly demarcating and separating
the populations for a long time. But though we lived here for thousands of
years, we kept our language, these people kept their language. When we went to
trade and transact then we learned the other language but we always kept our
language.
Conclusion:
Today, the
new generations are losing their language so rapidly. All of us, at least in
our homes with our children and wherever possible, there must be a certain
amount of time where we must use the local language, It's very important. We
will regret this deeply after a couple of generations if we don't take care of
it now, because you can't bring back a language. You can kill it, but you can't
breathe life into it, it's very difficult. Subscribe to milliondollarknowledge.com
