The legacy of any culture is very closely embedded in its language – oral traditions are passed on, history is put on paper, and the intricacies of life are documented best in the language of the time and of the people. Hindi, in many ways, is that language. Numerous writers and poets have documented aspects of Indian life and culture in Hindi. And yet, how many of us would have read Premchand’s social narratives of life in the 1900s or enjoyed, at leisure, the ancient Indian fables captured in the Panchatantra? With English establishing itself as the global language of communication and business, feeling disconnected from Hindi is a feeling many of us have. But for millions of children in schools, we still have the opportunity to change this.
