Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the intricate relationship between language and power in the context of the higher castes who dominated Indiaâs social and political landscape for centuries. The author examines how these elites employed language as a strategic tool to justify their authority, maintain their elevated positions, and perpetuate the oppression of marginalized groups. The book delves into the historical evolution of caste-based power dynamics, exploring the ways in which language was used to construct and reinforce social hierarchies. It analyzes the role of Sanskrit, the ancient language of the priestly class, in establishing and maintaining their dominance, and the subsequent development of regional languages that challenged this hegemony. The author goes beyond the historical dimension, also examining the present-day manifestations of caste-based discrimination and the role of language in perpetuating these inequalities in contemporary Indian society. The book argues that understanding the intricate relationship between language and power is crucial for dismantling the enduring legacy of caste-based oppression and fostering a more just and equitable society.
