past and present injustice or exploitation
against the weak in the world. Our
responsibility as academics is the careful
exploration of the nature of language rights
and their consequences

3. Language is an instrument which holds
culture
Multilingualism reflects multiculturalism
The welfare of the multilingualism can be one
of the major way of holding multiculturalism

needs to empower languages
4. Living in their language is a right to every
person in the world

her/his language
The mother tongue education can be a better
way of education

(a) the regional language and the mother
tongue when the latter is different from the
regional language
(b) Hindi or, in Hindi-speaking areas, another
Indian language
(c) English, or any other modern European
language
7. There are more number of mother tongues in
each state differing regional language
8. Regional language is one which is a major

the very nature of the world
Can not be ruled out as it is very much existed
in most parts of the world and most time of
the age
13. Multilingualism exists because of the
development, which is a nature
Today’s countries of Europe were not a single
language land an all the time of the history,
and they can not be single language countries
in the future, America is a very much
multilingual country, though it is not overtly

dialects which develop in to languages
15. Need to bring all languages in to the
education system
Need to give education in each language

used in the administration, if 30% of the
people in the particular political region
constitute a linguistics community

the minor languages and communities of
India, but not of major languages and
communities
About 80% of the people speak only 20% of
Indian languages, remaining 20% of the
people uses 80% of the diverse languages
To mention the multiculturalism and to face
the globalization, it needs to see
multilingualism alive
19. Most concentration is on major languages is
seen elsewhere
However, there is need to look at each
language equally, which is not seen
People are not enjoying their rights in India
