Acharya Prashant discusses the spiritual implications of language, arguing that the shift from Indian languages like Hindi to English represents a abandonment of legacy and important values rather than a simple linguistic change. He explains that adopting a new language often involves absorbing useless elements while leaving behind essential cultural foundations. Addressing the controversy regarding Hindi as a national link language, he points out the unfair expectation placed on South Indians to learn Hindi when North Indians show no intention of learning Southern languages like Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam. He notes that while many in the South comprehend Hindi, North Indians remain indifferent to the great languages of their own country. This indifference, he suggests, stems from a deep inferiority complex where Indian parents prioritize foreign languages like German or Spanish over Indian ones for purely material opportunities. He concludes that being ashamed of one's own country and defining opportunity solely in material terms is a spiritual failure that prevents true progress.
