- Abstract
The article discusses the key conceptual and historical factors of an approach to the study of language and literature in relation to the North Indian vernacular, the Hindi and Urdu. It argues that the emergence of religio-political identities and the distinction of the language formations brought about the final partition of the country in the mid-twentieth century. It talks on indigenisation, the colonial rule and the modern vernacular formations, and its effects on cultural and social field.
