  • 4Th Mahadevi Verma Memorial Lecture Series
    SECTION I ON MAHADEVI VERMA MAHADEVI VERMA ON EDUCATION SHANKAR SHARAN1 Today's graduate has to think ... those who have all the worldly facilities want our life values. Why should those who already have such values consider themselves poor? (Mahadevi Verma) Mahadevi believed that a person is always a student in the realm of thought and of feelings. If not, then somewhere he must have closed the door of his heart and mind. She was renowned as a poetess, but in fact, she devoted a lot of time during her life to education and teaching. She had established the Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth, which she served for as long as she could. Few people know that her devotion to education was a conscious choice as she believed that educational institutions built the nation and some of her great contemporaries have noted that. Sachchidanand Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' drew attention to the fact that according to Mahadevi, her poetry was the reflection of her moments of leisure and 'she would devote the rest of her life to the field of education, where it was required.'2 There are many definitions of 'Vidya' (knowledge/ education) in Indian literature. What Mahadevi liked the most was 'Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktye' – which means 'education is that which liberates'. She noted that in the past, Indian scholars had a very special regard for education and that is why it was always kept under state control. 1. Dr Shankar Sharan is a Lecturer in the Department of Educational Research and Policy Perspective at NCERT, New Delhi. 2.

  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.
