Description

Bhartiya Bhasha Parivar A New Framework in Linguistics

The Book explores alternative perspectives on the study of Indian languages by re-examining long-standing colonial and Eurocentric frameworks that classified them into rigid ‘families. Drawing on insights from multidisciplinary perspectives, it highlights the possibility of viewing India’s languages as co-evolving expressions within a shared civilizational continuum. The book critically engages with the Aryan Invasion/Migration narrative, tracing its historical roots and presenting evidence of cultural and linguistic continuities across Indian languages and traditions. Rather than proposing a single uniform view, it advances a paradigm that emphasizes commonalities.in Indian languages and cultural frameworks, while also acknowledging the rich diversity and uniqueness of each language. Through this lens, the book advocates for a decolonised approach to linguistics, transformative education policy, and a renewed appreciation of India’s multilingual vitality as a source of unity, creativity, and resilience. In doing so, it offers scholars and citizens a vision of harmonious coexistence and interconnection grounded in the plural yet deeply linked heritage of Bhartiyata.
