Are we losing our Mother-Tongue? It is‚ and it’s getting worse. In an increasingly urbanised India‚ mother-tongues are under siege and facing a sustained attack from the three Ms of migration‚ market and mixed marriages. The mother tongue is the true vehicle of the mother wit. Another medium of speech may bring with it a current of new ideas. But the mother tongue is one in which a man is born.

Two years have gone by so fast‚ and there hasn’t been a day I haven’t
