Summary
Details

This volume brings together a rich constellation of scholarly voices that interrogate language not merely as a medium of communication but as a living archive of memory, power, pedagogy, creativity, and social transformation. Emerging from the national webinar hosted by Government College Khaniyadhana, this volume situates Indian languages at the very heart of intellectual inquiry, examining how vernacular traditions shape cultural identity, democratize knowledge, and challenge inherited hierarchies of language and learning.

Traversing domains as varied as literature, education, policy, digital humanities, artificial intelligence, economics, health, and media, the essays collectively argue that linguistic diversity is not an obstacle to modernity but its ethical and epistemic foundation. From mother-tongue pedagogy and subaltern speech to digital vernacular futures and literary hybridity, the contributions reveal Indian languages as dynamic, adaptive, and future-facing systems of thought.

At a moment when globalized knowledge economies risk flattening linguistic plurality, this proceedings volume offers a timely, rigorous, and deeply humane intervention. It invites scholars, educators, and policymakers to reimagine knowledge production through the many tongues of India, affirming that the future of learning, equity, and cultural sustainability depends upon listening more carefully to the languages that have always spoken from within.
