Consti-tuition - Episode 3: Language - Part 2

In this episode, Meghnad wonders how English became such a widespread language in administration and in India, generally speaking. By the way, it's all Macaulay's doing. He makes even Trump look like a tree-hugging, refuge-rescuing liberal.

Meghnad also steps back and wonders: What is the point of language even? Why is it so emotive and important for human beings in general?

This is Part 2 of the Language episode. We did Part 1 last week where Meghnad spoke about how Hindi is not a national language and why it is so important to understand its origins. You can watch that episode here: https://www.newslaundry.com/2019/01/11/consti-tuition-s02e02-language-part-1

And, as always, don't forget to do the homework at the end of the episode. This time, it's going to be a fun one. See you at the Homework review on Wednesday, January 23, at 7 pm.
