With 22 officially recognized languages and more than 450 spoken across its regions, India is one of the most linguistically diverse nations on Earth. But why does this country have so many languages, and how have they survived side by side for centuries?In this episode, we explore the roots of India’s linguistic richness: from the Dravidian tongues of the south and the Indo‑Aryan languages of the north, to tribal voices in the northeast and echoes of Persian, Arabic, and English. Geography, migration, culture, and politics all played a role in shaping this vibrant mosaic.Join us as we uncover how India’s many languages are not just tools of communication, but living identities—woven into festivals, films, literature, and everyday life. This is the story of a nation that speaks in many voices, yet still finds harmony.Instagram: @samarthchittaTwitter: @samarthchittaEmail: [email protected]
