Abstract (2. Language):
Diversity in the area of culture, religion, ethnic, and language is the most characteristic trait of India. This is mostly because of India's long dated history and to be a home of varying cultures, ethnics, and religions. In addition to these, after a long time being isolated from 3000 B.C. to 8th century, India was ruled by the Muslims which includes Arabs, Persian, Turks, and Afgans. The British ruled India for almost 200 years. By Muslims, Islam and Persian and to some extend Turkish, particularly Old Turkish, The British, English and Westernization were introduced to India. These historical developments have added to the diversity of India in all areas.
In this study, I will focus on the language policy and the position of the official language of India. To do this, historical developments and current situations will be examined. At the same time, linguistic structure and its social context in India will also be studied. In the end, the findings relating to language policy and their effects will be discussed.
