Languages -Ladder to know different culture

When I Moved out of my Hometown Jhajjar and Made friends from different states of India, what I experienced was that they all knew three languages. I mean the majority of my friends knew three languages. Hindi, English and their own native language. Being from Haryana, I knew only Hindi and English. When i moved to Mumbai, friends over there tried to explain some Marathi word to me and in this process sometimes original meaning behind word lost. Because for some words, there was no exact word equivalent in Hindi or English. This is the nature of language. language is the reflection of culture and knowledge of different languages means that you are familiar with multiple cultures. I urge all parents to teach the native language to their kids.

Hindi is the official language of our Country but this is not our national language. And the main reason behind this is the presence of multiple other languages in India. No one can impose one language over others in our country. And if someone does this, it's unfair and against the law. Our politicians do take oath in their native language, so nothing is wrong in adopting own native language. A monopoly of One language can ruin the diversity of our India. And diversity is the identity of India.

Hindi and English are the languages through which we can learn the culture of others. English has universal acceptance and the same is with Hindi when it comes to India. So to learn the culture or tradition of some other country or state we need to take the support of these two languages.

Our politicians do misuse their power by creating a new culture and tradition by dividing the states in two parts or dividing territories for their votes. I loved the culture of Rajasthan. In Rajasthan what I observed is that. people over here do worship of local gods and goddesses. Marwari is the official language of Rajasthan. I always stand for Diversity and humanism lies in diversity. One should believe in - without disturbing the feelings of other's, let's learn something new about each other.

India is like an umbrella and different languages in India are like its Rib wires. Different cultures and languages are the only strength of our beloved Country. Unity in diversity is what we say about India.
