What happens to a linguistic minority in a state? How do you think they can keep their language alive? For example:

Punjabis in Bangalore


Tamilians in Mumbai


Kannadigas in Delhi


Gujaratis in Kolkata


A linguistic minority is suppressed most of the times by the majority group.

They can keep their language alive by taking following measures:


1. Enhancing their literature by writing books


2. Conversing in their language in daily lives


3. Spreading it through performing art


4. Through T.V., Radio programmes


5. By opening minority schools and institutions
