1. ENGLISH AND THE INDIAN LINGUISTIC DILEMMA.

Author

Sisson, Ralph R.

Subjects
LANGUAGE policy, ENGLISH language, MULTILINGUALISM, NATIONALISM, SOVEREIGNTY, LANGUAGE & languages, INTERNATIONAL relations, POLITICAL science
Abstract

The article presents a discussion on the strains to India's internal federal structure because of the lack of common language and the importance of the English language in its unification attempts. It also examines the broad division of languages in India. It also cites that multilingualism and the political unification under British rule were two factors abetting nationalism which was evident in the 1860s. India's attainment of independence and national sovereignty led to its adoption of a national language. It also cites other countries which realized the importance of knowing the English language which include France, Turkey, and the Philippines.

2. India's Experiment.

Subjects
ELECTIONS, DEMOCRACY, POLITICAL science, NATIONALISM, POLITICAL parties
Abstract

The article discusses an experiment in elections to see whether "Democracy" can exist without the more or less evenly balanced contest between parties. Prime minister Nehru's government hails the Indian election as "a great experiment in democracy". It is certainly no conventional election when ranking opposition leaders not only concede defeat in advance, but actually imply, as did a Socialist leader, that the Congress Party should arrange the victory of enough opposition deputies to keep up democratic appearances. Nehru's great personal stature enhanced his attractive power in the case of the Congress Party, and as a result telling opposition to Congress, the symbol of nationalism, comes more from parochial local candidates than from organized national parties.
