内容説明

This volume - in the Themes in Politics series - focuses on the relationship between language (culture) and politics (power) at the social, political, historical, cultural, and ideological levels. It explains the conceptual and historical unfolding of this relationship between 1900 and 2000. It also expands newer areas and frontiers of research and critical thinking by drawing attention to readings from different disciplines and perspectives predominantly history, political science, sociology, literature, anthropology, and cultural studies. The essays have been thematically arranged to illustrate the rich diversity of issues and arguments. The thematic plurality and methodological innovativeness is reflected in the selection of readings and their novel ways of interpreting the language question. The author highlights India's linguistic diversity and its political predicament, linguistic states formation in independent India, Indian Constitution and the language question, linguistic minorities, language and education to understand the complex character of this relationship.
