Language is not only a medium of expression, but also a channel of pride of any nation and its ancient culture. It is the means of exchanging the expression of human sentiments, one's cultural values, ethos and emotions. The inter-communicativeness of thoughts between two human beings is not possible without language. Acquisition and sharing of knowledge are also possible from this medium of communication. Indian traditions believe that if there were no language, this world would have been dark, dull and purposeless. Neglect of the advancement and progress of language can cause any nation to paralyse and eventually finish. This is the reason why since times immemorial every nation has necessarily incorporated development, innovation, evolution and expansion of languages in their education policy.
India has always had an inclination for proper and rooted education. The purpose of education in India was not just the attainment of knowledge but a complete realisation and deliverance of the self. The journey of Indian Education traditions, ethos and cultures could be gauged from Saa Vidyaa Yaa Vimuktaye (knowledge is that which is for liberation) to Saa Vidya Yaa Niyuktaye (knowledge is that which is for the job). This was mainly focused on the attainment of true knowledge, wisdom and truth as the ultimate goal of an individual.
The Indian education system has always been evolving in due course and the result is the change of the world, the change in human expectation and the change in the educational system in the world. This is the reason why in 2020 the Indian Government approved a New Education Policy. In this new National Education Policy(NEP), an attempt has been made to give a universal shape keeping in mind the subtlest and the most important subjects. While this policy seems to be showing an inclination towards language, this policy has shown its unique attraction towards inter-diversity.
