Treasure our languages

The decisive win of the BJP is a factor for attempting to re position Hindi.Politically dominant tongues like English,French ,Spanish ,Chinese,Arabic etc. being prone to greater usage at a given era ,subordinate others, dictated by the needs at that given time What is paramount is ,when  a particular language passes into sunset,in takes away that vital hue or nuance that  it alone was capable of providing,leaving the human canvas that much poorer.It is natural that the history and culture of the times in which man records or propounds his experiences or ideas, gets seamlessly merged into his creations much like  an indelible hue  to a work of art..States south of the Vindhyas,first resisted Sanskrit for its  Aryan roots and later as the language of the Brahmins. Hindi was met with similar antipathy, the anti-Hindi agitations being of recent memory.In time ,the compulsions of modern day technological advances had many states embrace English  All our Indian languages are the bridges to treasures of the past,the older the language,richer the treasure and that should be reason alone to safeguard each one of them.Thought must over-ride form and as long as we are enabled to think in mother tongues and transact in an alien language,  their ingrained  ethos will sustain our vivid culture.Little sense in trading our hoary linguistic treasures for lingual pragmatism,if not to singular dominance.
