The resistance of Sindhi language against linguistic Imperialism
Abstract
Linguistic imperialism is the practice of imposing a dominant language on speakers of other languages. This happens through colonization, economic power, or through multinational corporations.
The resistance of the Sindhi language against linguistic imperialism has evolved significantly over the pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial eras, reflecting broader socio-political shifts in the region. During these periods, Sindhi faced significant challenges due to the imposition of foreign languages by colonial and national powers. However, there was a continuous struggle by Sindhi speakers, along with poets and writers to preserve their language, culture and identity.
This paper investigates historical context of colonialism, impact of British linguistic Imperialism and post-colonial linguistic imperialism, language politics, resistance movements and policies about Sindhi language and identity.
