Explore the fascinating world of language politics in North India with “Language Politics and Public Sphere in North India.” This compelling book delves into the formation of the Maithili movement, challenging the traditional Hindi-Urdu focus in academic discourse. Discover how a ‘minor’ language asserts its identity amidst the growing influence of Hindi. Mithilesh Jha meticulously traces the historical trajectory of the Maithili movement from its origins in the mid-19th century to its recognition in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution in 2003. Examine the complex interplay of linguistic hierarchies, territorial consciousness, and political aspirations that shaped this significant cultural and political awakening. Ideal for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the socio-linguistic landscape of India.
