  • India is the land of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues. But most Indians grew up looking at English as the gold standard. Sathshya Tharien's journey was no different.
    Knowing fluent English is seen as a badge of honor and the importance of the local languages is downplayed, but regional languages are very important to today’s youth; it creates a difference in their lives.
    Satshya Tharien is an edutainment content creator and an award-winning journalist based in Mangalore. She is best known for her Instagram series, ‘Hacks to Learn’, which brings a fun twist to learning regional languages such as Malayalam and Kannada.
    During her stint as a journalist, she won the WAN INFRA South Asian Digital Media Award for ‘Best Project for News Literacy’.
    Even with her shift from Journalism to Content Creation, Satshya always remains passionate about the intersection of food, culture and language as seen in her video series, ‘Chumma Cooking’ and her podcast ‘Chumma Conversations’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Not spreading any hatered here but.... This is a really good video especially to those few north indians who come to southern states for work or to settle and refuses to learn the local language and demand the locals to talk to them in their language hindi instead of learning stleast basics of the local language. They ask questions like why should i learn the local language? U learn hindi blablabla which is very sadening to hear at times!
    Thank you ma'am for this beautiful explanation. ❤

      And even South Indian do that, and refuse to speak Hindi, Bihari, Mizo, Hamar, etc. And speak in English and force a foreign language upon areas where people might not even know it..
      Stop fighting and saying this is better then other and stuff..

      @@AltOurCumrade sadly there are few people from north india who forces South Indian to learn hindi. If South indians dont know hindi they think that it's some form of shame. Yes not all North indians are like this. That's why I mentioned "few" In my earlier comment.

      @@AltOurCumrade when most South indians go and settle In North india they do try to learn hindi which is a connecting language across North india Or the regional language. Cause there is a difference most North indians think that hindi is indians national language (which is not) so they think they could use hindi everywhere they go in India. Whereas South Indian know the importance of regional language they know that other side the particular state the region language won't play much importance therefore they learn the regional language of the state or atleast the connecting language.
      Now talking about english yes english is a foreign language to india but don't forget that english is an internationally accepted language across the global. You do know the importance of english. Instance we are communicating with each other here in english because neither I would know your regional language and vice versa. Also english language plays an important part in india. According to sources, india is the second lanegest english speaking country. Most of the education system in India takes place in english. English is also used in workplaces especially in metropolitan cities. So english is playing a big role in India. Even southern languages are different from each other. But South Indian connecting language is english. When a language is benefiting you and me and all of us why the question of being adjective towards english. English is widely spoken in many countries too despite english not being their native language.
      India is so diverved with so many beautiful languages and we need to preserve and glorify each language instead of one language "trying" To be dominate over other Indian languages isn't it? We should be proud that as indians. India has so many beautiful languages.

    wonderful speech Satshya and you spoke my mind. Many want to learn and study only English bcz they think what will they do with local language and the last point u made was just on point that "why be ashamed of our culture, heritage and your language, they are your strengths and that is what makes us who we are" awesome. keep going girl, bravo 🙌🙌

    I wish this is the attitude of every Indian! Being open to learning a new language and being appreciative of it and its culture. India will be a peaceful place if this happens.
    People should be welcoming when someone is from an unfamiliar place and likewise the person moving should be open to learning the language and culture of the place they are moving to.

    Your language and your culture are two different things. I can say this as a Tamil born in maharashtra wherein I am very fluent in Tamil language but culturally lean more towards marathi, gujarati and MP people. Things are changing fast, your heritage need not be bound to any geography or any language. This is the beauty of India, that you can be Tamil speaking, say I am from Maharashtra, and live in Lucknow or Delhi.

    I grew up in an English speaking household. Which is typical of Mangaloreans and Goans who were raised in the middle east. While certain communities in India are particular about teaching their kids to speak in their native language it was never a necessity for parents to teach their children who to speak Konkani. ( from my experience)
    Infact most of the konkani I know was from listening to my parents speak to each other , and my mom would always laugh 😂😂 saying that the way I spoke the language was similiar to how British people speak hindi in bollywood movies (😂😂)
    There was a time when I was ashamed to speak Konkani as I considered it shallow and a language that got little to no recognition among non speakers.
    Eventually I have grown to somewhat understand the culture I come from and do my best to embrace it.
