I've heard a lot about linguistic chauvinism. But I was unable to know the reason why people have so much attachment with their language. Sometimes, in childhood I wished that I was born in some southern state. It's so hard to understand their languages for people like us who have their origin here, in a state like Chhattisgarh. They can easily use it as a code word if went to other states.
Truly speaking I don't know a word of Chhattisgari language. But it's not that difficult to understand. I don't blame the fact, that I lived in Nainital for eight years, that I can't speak the dialect of my home place. Well, that's because I don't know to speak 'kumaoni' (the dialect of kumaon region,Nainital ) too, neither do I know rajasthani or bihari cause I've lived there too. Sometimes I wonder, how great it would be if I had been able to grasp all that.
But now it's been 4 yrs, since we have moved to MY state. I've learnt a lot about it till now( not the dialect). Some bloggers play great roles in showcasing the beauty of it. One of them is Srijal Sahu, who is a travel blogger. Please take a look at his vlog about Chhattisgarh.
