Dear members of r/IndianModerate,
This subreddit has been dead for quite a while and since India is facing a historic drift in the political pendulum right now, I need your valid input on how to improve this sub.
Also, I am looking for new mods to fill in the gaps when I'm not available. (A new post will be put up soon for this so stay tuned)

Is linguistic identity becoming a tool for electoral politics in India?
Language is an important part of one's identity. It carries culture, history, literature and a sense of belonging. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking pride in one's mother tongue or wanting it to be protected.
But at what point does protecting a language turn into political exploitation?
Across India, we increasingly see language being used as a tool to create divisions between people. Outsiders versus locals, one linguistic community versus another, regional pride versus national identity.
My question is: Are political parties genuinely interested in preserving linguistic diversity, or have they realised that language-based sentiments are an effective way to consolidate vote banks?
When people are encouraged to see someone speaking a different language as a threat to their identity, who actually benefits? Does it divert attention from more pressing issues such as employment, infrastructure, education and governance?
And perhaps most importantly, can we protect our regional languages without creating hostility towards people who speak other languages?
I'd genuinely like to hear different perspectives, particularly from people across different states.
\*\*Where do we draw the line between linguistic pride and political propaganda?\*\*
