Punjabi Maat Bhasha Chintan Samagam- International Mother Language Day

21 February was proclaimed the International Mother Language Day by UNESCO on 17 November 1999.

international Mother Language Day is observed yearly by UNESCO member states and at its headquarters to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism

A language is a dialect with an army and navy " is one of the most frequently used aphorisms in the discussion of the distinction between dialect and language. It points out the influence that political conditions can have over a community's perception of the status of a language or dialect

Modern Nationalism, as developed especially since the French Revolution, has made the distinction between "language" and "dialect" an issue of great political importance. A group speaking a separate "language" is often seen as having a greater claim to being a separate "people", and thus to be more deserving of its own independent state, while a group speaking a "dialect" tends to be seen not as "a people" in its own right, but as a sub-group, part of a bigger people, which must content itself with regional autonomy. The distinction between language and dialect is thus inevitably made at least as much on a political basis as on a linguistic one, and can lead to great political controversy, or even armed conflict.

There had been always some ambivalent positions taken in the writings of several scholars, that include authoritarian of 'religion' for defining mother language.

At present, most people in the state of Punjab in India write the language using the Gurumukhi script. In the past, the Perso-Arabic script was used to write this language. To dominant majority professes over Punjabi language , the right-wing authoritarian in Sikh religion place gurmukhi script as base of punajbi language. .

Scholars, however, lists three stages of development of the punjabi language: Old Punjabi (10th-16th century), Medieval Punjabi (16th-19th century), and Modern Punjabi (19th century to the present).

A panoptic discussion was held on this seminar for Punjabi Maat Bhasha Chintan Samagam

Mr . Taskeen said "The economies plays a dominating factor for the acceptance of language" . the practical explanation is as number of students approach for IELTS /TOEF , ON the other side the management students in London seeks learning of chinese language for there industrial growths procurements.

The same theory played a vital role in establishing English as central language in India, On December 11, 1823, Ram Mohan Roy sent an appeal or address to william pitt, requesting him to lay his appeal before the Governor General of India, in which he pleaded that the British India Government spend the money authorized by the British Parliament for the education of the natives on teaching western sciences to them, not sanskrit or Arabic.

(this was ten years before Macaulay wrote his Minute, for making English as "central language")

Now, should we draw a conclusion, was Ram Mohan Roy 'anti sanskrit / arabic ' ???
