Abstract
In India’s cultural tapestry, which is diverse and multifaceted with a strong literary tradition, language and identity are intertwined. The deep connection between language and identity in Indian literature is explored in this critical study, which provides insights into how language functions as a potent tool in the creation, preservation, and alteration of both individual and collective identities in the Indian setting. This study investigates the crucial function of language in forming, developing, and reflecting the identities of the people of India, drawing on a wide range of Indian literary works. Undoubtedly, one of the most challenging procedures in life is learning a language other than one’s native tongue. It is a startlingly drawn-out experience that is reliant on mental, emotional, and physical factors. The second language learners should alternate between thinking of themselves as first-language speakers and second-language learners, which forces them to consider how they “identify” themselves. Teachers no longer just play a supporting role in the global education system. The idea of identity is one of the most recent topics that is being researched widely across the world.
