- Authors
Teli, Ganpat
- Abstract
During the freedom movement of India, the complex and controversial of the National Language was raised. In this controversy Gandhi supported the concept of Hindustani. Gandhi's thoughts on languages are discussed in this paper. This article will try to look on other dimensions of his thoughts on languages as well. Gandhi accepts religion as a base to consolidate his views on language. However, Gandhi's concept was an expression of exclusion in some sense, as non-northern and non-Hindu and non-Muslims weren't part of it. In addition to these features, Gandhi's contradictions regarding thoughts on language will also be discussed.
