Will Mother Languages Survive in India and Pakistan?
As globalization, urbanization and state policies favor dominant languages, mother tongues across India and Pakistan face an uncertain future. Are these languages gradually fading away, or can they still thrive despite socio-political and economic pressures?
This session will discuss the historical, cultural and political factors shaping the survival of indigenous languages. Can we safeguard our linguistic heritage, or are we witnessing the slow extinction of our mother languages?
