The role of linguistic federalism and nationalism in shaping India's language politics and diverse education policies.
Language politics in independent India have been significantly impacted by linguistic federalism institutionalized by the 1956 States Reorganization Act. This act established major Indian languages as the basis of most states, ensuring the vitality of regional languages while leaving minority languages unprotected.
India's language regime, including the Eighth Schedule of the Indian constitution that recognizes national languages, shapes the nation-province's cultural grammar. Linguistic nationalism fuels language politics within states, creating a multilingual and multiscriptal language regime.
The challenge of managing language diversity is evident in India’s education policies influenced by linguistic principles, as seen through the post-independence States Reorganization Commission (SRC)'s role in increasing language diversity amidst the creation of new states.
