| Summary: | In this intervention I make a case against treating lesser-known languages aspoints on a scale that ranges from the neediest communities to the least needy. My argument refers to factors that become salient during the transition from a modern order of nation-states to an unsettled dynamism involving heterogeneous spaces. Under the exigencies and anxieties of globalization, the experiences become traumatic and call for urgent efforts to formulate and address what are experienced as vital issues on the ground. For clarity, I briefly present first the view I oppose, calling it ARSA, the Aid Recipient Spectrum Approach. I then outline the alternative I advocate, ILCEA, the Inter-Local Community Empowerment Approach. Once these have been introduced, the Language Policies in India section situates the problem with respect to India; the ARSA section discusses how the consensus both in India and elsewhere has swung towards ARSA; and the final section focuses on ILCEA, considers reasons for wishing to turn the tide and proposes ways of bringing this about. |
