Multilingualism is a unique cultural and historical feature of India. lndian thinking looked at the world as a family and respected differences and identities. While monolingual nations considered multilingualism a problem, it remained the natural condition for various domains of life in India. In recent times, multilingualism has come to be recognized as an invaluable asset and resource by educationists and policymakers paving the way for a new educational approach that is in harmony with local traditions. Some perceive English language education as a hindrance to the growth of lndian languages and allege that it causes a social divide. The arguments of this book convincingly correct this uninformed notion and prove that English has been a tool of empowerment and a driver of social and economic mobility. The contributors demonstrate that local languages and cultures can be revived by integrating them into English language education. Compensating the lack of organized ideas on multilingual education, this book aims to introduce a trendsetting change in the lndian perspective on education. It will be a source of direction for teachers, teacher trainers, policymakers, and those with an interest in education and sociolinguistics.
