Loved the piece on Language supremacy and the callousness displayed by many at using it to shutdown the ‘subaltern’. It is a well entrenched social norm which many of us practice without realising the damage it causes. This piece has correctly highlighted the need for change in the ‘minds’ of upper strata of society. Good that a start has been made. Shaming those who correct will start now as a push back and then only this language supremacy will be quelled. I believe it has happened in Tamil post the realisation of the Dravidian theme.
