The Annihilation of Language
In the heart of modern India, a sprawling, chaotic metropolis of dreams and despair, the air thrummed with a symphony of languages. From the diesel-choked roar of buses plastered with vibrant, peeling advertisements in a dozen scripts, to the melodic calls of street vendors hawking wares in regional tongues, to the sharp, staccato bursts of English from suited professionals rushing into glass-fronted towers, it was a city that spoke in many voices. Yet, beneath this vibrant, cacophonous surface, a silent, insidious war, centuries in the making, had raged. For five thousand years, a historical narrative whispered in hushed tones, Hindi-speaking people had lived under the pervasive shadow of Marathi and Kannada dominance, particularly in the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka. Their language, once a flowing river of profound poetry and commanding oratory, its script a graceful dance of curves and lines, had been systematically reduced to a hesitant whisper, a muted echo in the grand theatre of public life. This linguistic subjugation became a suffocating shroud, a symbol of their marginalized existence.
