Description

Explore a deep academic examination of one of the most complete sources on South Asian languages. This Routledge publication provides the first detailed analysis of George Abraham Grierson's Linguistic Survey of India. The book investigates how the Survey worked alongside Indian activists to help consolidate regional languages throughout the country. By studying India as a linguistic region, this work highlights how the Survey differed from the colonial state's view of the subcontinent. While the colonial administration focused on religious and caste differences to understand Indian society, this text examines the linguistic perspective. It offers a look at how these narratives exist alongside the rigorous linguistic research found within the original Survey. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of South Asian linguistics and the social structures of the region.
