Recognizing the immense importance of our own language and cultural roots is something we shouldn't overlook. Language is like a powerful tool that helps us connect and understand each other. Even with all the new technology and the widespread use of English, we see a risk of losing our cultural treasures, including our language.
When parents aim for their kids to be smart and efficient, they often choose schools that teach in English. Learning English is great for keeping up with the fast-paced world, but we should also remember to talk in our own language, especially in public where there are many different people. As the saying goes, speaking in someone's language really gets to their heart and builds a stronger connection.
Languages, like Kashmiri, are facing challenges because many prefer English in education. It's not just about the words; it's about the culture and the special power that comes with our language. Shujhat, a chief editor in Kashmir, wisely points out that losing our language makes it easier for others to influence us and take away our identity.
In the bigger picture of power, having a strong military is essential for defense, but there's another kind of power in our language and culture. This softer power can help us win without using force. While we want students to do well globally, it's equally important to keep our language alive. Parents play a big role in this by talking to their kids in their native language.
There are positive steps being taken, like a platform for translating Kashmiri created by Markazi Adbi Kamraaz and Google recognizing this effort. Still, more needs to be done, like having discussions on TV, radio, and public spaces. These can be places to talk about the importance of our language and celebrate its richness.
In today's world, where everyone has fancy gadgets, it's a shared responsibility to protect our languages. It's not just about keeping them alive but letting them thrive. Languages like Kashmiri are not just words; they are a part of our identity and cultural heritage. Preserving them is not just a duty but a joint effort to create a diverse and culturally rich world.
