Abstract

Debi Prasanna Pattanayak, Founder Director (retired) of the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore, helped to place India on the international map of language studies. He is a highly respected sociolinguist and social scientist and has consistently fought for the cause of mother- tongue education. In his 1985 article he said Like air and water, language is indispensable for human society. When natural water is so parcelled out that a section of the people is deprived of even drinking water, or natural air is so polluted..., then this is the sign of an unequal society. Similarly when a society is denied full expression through the language which is used naturally and its needs are instead sought to be met through a regulated or imposed language, then inequality sets in.
