Large language models (LLMs) generally do not work that well with non-English languages. But why is that the case? What does this mean for India, which has 22 languages recognised by the constitution and, according to different estimates, has total languages running into hundreds? How do we build and deploy LLMs for Indian languages? Should we even do so? Lokendra sits with Adya and Anwesha from the Takshashila Institution to discuss these pertinent issues. All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.

In this episode of The Literary City, we embark on a journey with two distinguished guests—each bringing a unique perspective to our exploration of literature and language.Abhay K, a poet-diplomat, and the author of "Celestial," a poetic masterpiece comprising 100 couplets that intricately weave the enchanting tales of the 88 constellations in our galaxy. Abhay's journey into the realm of poetry was sparked by a mesmerising night beneath the southern skies during his tenure as the Indian ambassador to Madagascar. His book "Celestial" stands as a testament to the wondrous inspiration found in the cosmos, beautifully complemented by illustrations from the renowned 10th-century Persian astronomer, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, known as Azophi in the West. Through his return to our show, we anticipate delving deeper into the celestial wonders that continue to captivate both poet and audience alike.Later in the popular segment WHAT'S THAT WORD—with co-host Pranati “P with an A” Madhav—we are joined by Karthik Venkatesh, an Executive Editor at Penguin and the author of the enlightening book "10 Indian Languages And How They Came To Be." Karthik's book is a trove of knowledge, with each page resembling a rich chapter brimming with insights into the origins and evolution of Indian languages. What strikes me the most about Karthik's work is the depth of research—evident from years of accumulated knowledge and experience. As an editor himself, Karthik has skillfully distilled this wealth of information into a concise yet impactful narrative, shedding light on languages both familiar and obscure to India. This is an action-packed and intellectually stimulating episode of The Literary City.ABOUT ABHAY K Abhay K. is a poet-diplomat, translator, and author of several poetry collections. His poems have appeared in over a hundred literary magazines. His “Earth Anthem” has been translated into over 150 languages. He received the SAARC Literary Award and was invited to record his poems at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., in 2018. His translations of Kalidasa's Meghaduta and Ritusamhara from Sanskrit won him the KLF Poetry Book of the Year Award.ABOUT KARTHIK VENKATESH Karthik Venkatesh grew up in Bangalore, speaking Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, English, Dakhani and Hindi. He tried to learn French but failed. He did learn Punjabi though. Once an MBA, he later studied education and taught English and History in a school.

What makes Indian languages different from other ones? We all know about a mother tongue, but is there also a father tongue? Why did invaders from Uzbekistan bring us Persian? And will English cannibalise every other language or is the future of Indian languages something like Hinglish or Nagamese? In this episode, host Sandip Roy talks to Peggy Mohan about her book, 'Wanderers, Kings, Merchants', which tells the story of India by digging into India's languages.Peggy Mohan has taught linguistics at Jawaharlal Nehru University and Jamia Millia Islamia, and is the author of three novels.Produced by Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
A loss of language is accompanied by a loss of history, heritage, cultural expression and identity. Nearly half of the world's languages are endangered today and Indian languages form the largest group among the endangered languages. In the words of our guest, “Losing a link with one's own language is like losing a slice of culture every day. Slowly. It is like the peanut butter you started slathering on the kids' bread, instead of the sugar inside the hot ghee-filled chapati amma made.” In this episode, Sowmya Nandan and Shrikrishna Upadhyaya host Vasanthi Hariprakash, journalist, radio personality, media entrepreneur and founder of Pickle Jar to discuss the vulnerability of Indian languages and their many dialects, homogenisation of languages, and politics surrounding languages. Vasanthi enlists various initiatives for conserving and growing languages arising out of the society and the markets today.

The Census of India had listed 1652 ‘Mother Tongues' in its 1961 language report. In 1971, this number was brought down to just 108. Where did the remaining 1455 mother tongues disappear? This lecture will present the story of the epic search for those ‘silence' languages and the people's movement which emerged out of the search. It will present the changing profile of India's language diversity and the need for preservation of the diversity for safeguarding our federal structure. This episode of BIC Talks is an extract from the first of a series of four masterclass lectures by Prof. G N Devy, titled Memory, Culture and The Being of India that took place in the BIC premises in early February 2022.

Why does the hill district of Shimla, home to a mere 8 lakh people, have at least 10-15 different languages? Why does Indonesia have 250 languages, and the strangest of them all - Papua New Guinea, an island nation, to this very day, has over one thousand spoken languages? Why did these rather disparate places acquire such a high density of languages, despite having relatively smaller populations. This week, in the sixth episode of India's Linguistic Heritage, we travel far and wide and uncover a fascinating link from the natural world, which has shaped more than 2000 languages world over.

"In 12th century Delhi, a new language began to emerge, which was initially known as Dehlavi. Parallelly, the political landscape of India changed, with the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate and the arrival of the Mughals. With them came Persian, and quickly established itself as the language of power. Over time, a new language emerged, a combination of Dehlavi and Persian. But the arrival of the British changed everything, and through a maze of social, religious and political factors, the two languages started to grow apart. This week, in the third episode of the series, India's Linguistic Heritage, discover the story of the Partition which went unnoticed; that between Hindi and Urdu, and why separating these two any further would be like cutting the Umbilical cord.Special thanks to Izer, who had rendered a few lines of a popular song for this episode, but it could not be released owing to copyright challenges.

Hello Language Lovers! Thank you for joining me for this episode of Speaking Tongues- the podcast in conversation with multilinguals. This week, I'm so happy to be joined by Anita from Bhasha Kids to talk about South Indian languages including Malayalam and Tamil. Anita talks to us about relearning Malayalam as an adult and learning Tamil with her husband and kids. She talks to us about the poignant subject of growing up in between two heritages which is something that many Indian-Americans feel growing up in the states as children of parents born in India. She tells us how her mission with Bhasha Kids is to help kids understand cultural differences and ensure that they embrace their culture with pride. We talk about the Dravidian languages of South India including Tamil & Telugu and why she felt it imperative to focus on these languages in the development of her business. Anita tells us why inclusivity played a big role in starting her company and about the methods she uses to ensure that she not only meets kids where they are but also makes the process simple for little learners.

In this Episode, I speak with Ranjeet Pratap Singh, Co-Founder & CEO of Pratilipi. This Episode is called the Power of Compounding, for Ranjeet's ideologies and Pratilipi's journey intersect at the core belief in Compounding, a principle, which works like magic in life, and more so in Starting Up. Pratilipi is by far India's largest storytelling platform with over 25 million daily active users, coming on the platform for hours through the month, browsing through literature, stories, comics, audio books, podcasts and more by the best creators, writers and artists of the country, in most Indian Languages that you can think of. Ranjeet comes from an extremely modest background and is an engineer by education, with an MBA from FMS Delhi (Batch of '12). Life was serving him well in the traditional sense of it, until he realised that he was not being challenged enough. An avid reader, he found it difficult to get the books of his choice online, for all websites only had English content.Thus, he took the onus upon himself, and set out to test if there would actually be a market for this Product. After much validation, he was convinced, and he set out to build the future with Pratilipi. This was an extremely enthralling discussion and I found immense joy in listening to his extremely insightful and structured answers. Here are a couple of pointers in line with what we discussed: 1. (3:59) - The Power of Compounding 2. (5:32) - Compounding @Pratilipi | Growth as a by-product of doing the right things consistently for a long long time 3. (7:51) - Betting on the Long Term 4.

Vikrant Pande on How to Translate Books to Indian Languages; books from Marathi to English; and his Books that are made into films like Bajirao Mastani. Vikrant and I discuss about his experiences as a translator, what should authors look for when they are considering translation of their book, and purely as a coincidence, all the books that he has translated and published so far have been released as movies in Marathi and Hindi. His most recent work is the translation of the Marathi book Raau on which the Hindi movie Bajirao Mastani was based.

Rick Jarow, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Vasser College and is the author of the books “Creating the Work You Love, and“The Alchemy of Abundance.”He is a pioneer of the “anti-career movement,” who integrates an awareness of many spiritual traditions with the pressures of day to day Western life. At age 19, Rick left Harvard University and traveled for seven years throughout Europe and India. This pilgrimage is partially recounted in his first book, “In Search of the Sacred. At age 26, he returned to the West to complete a doctoral program at Columbia University, where he received a Ph.D. in Indian Languages and Literatures and in New York he became also a student of Hilda Charlton for many of the years when I also attended Hilda’s meetings and mediations.
