Indic- Anglo writers write in Bhashe in their mind
by dhanakar thakur on Aug 13, 2008 04:12 PM

Whichever may be the logic of opponents of UR Ananthamurthy the fact remains that any person thinks, imagines and then writes and thinking and imagination can have no other language than the set up in which the person is born and brought up taking the example of the great Kalidas whom we Maihtils regard a Maithil and Nagarjuna/Yatri Bidyanath Mishra whose writings might be in any language Hindi/Sanskrit but have a reflection of mother tongue and the area and likewise in modern time if any Indian writes in English his/her character, the imagination cannot be be thought of in other than mother tongue, the Bhase with which Dr. U.R.Ananthmurthy has rightly identified all the native languages and dilects of our great nation and may it be noted that we have the oldest book( the Vedas) if not the language in which we should take pride and furthermore the modern English cannot deny that it has been influenced by the Indian culture even if it maybe thought controversial that English is one of the offshoots of old Coorgi language and when URA defends Indian contribution to the World of Languages he surely as a student and teacher of English literature has somewhere in his experience that a writer writes when his mind and intellect are submerged in the Soul of the national/social mileu he/she belonged to and not only the evolutionary path of Heckle,'Ontogeny repeats phylogeny,' is applicable to human as a body but also to language as an expression of mind which can be none than Bhase.
