[mukto-mona] Time for a reminder on International Mother Language Day.



Please read this article by Garga Chatterjee, a Linguistic Equal Rights activist in West Bengal.

<<But those who have a problem with equal linguistic rights and support the preferential imposition of one language over other people under the specious argument of building unity actually have a problem with diversity, dignity and equal rights. February 21 underlines the present mother-language struggles for a world without linguistic dominance and imposition under the excuse of “national” unity, a world without any mandatory Hindi or Urdu or Sinhalese, where all mother-languages have equal rights and so do their speakers. >>>
