Revisiting Language Politics
Over the last few years, India has witnessed a resurgence of linguistic tensions nationally. Regional parties more frequently refer to linguistic identities to resist the centralization of political power and respond to India’s delimitation plans. Language politics is now re-emerging on the national stage in ways that are both familiar and unfamiliar. This workshop examines language politics in contemporary India and our understanding of its postcolonial history.
Speakers: Akhil P. Veetil, Deepika Padmanabhan, Gregory Goulding, Ketaki Jaywant, Lisa Mitchell, Maya Tudor, Pritipuspa Mishra, Rama Mantena, Sumathi Ramaswamy
