‘Linguistic chauvinism’ means an aggressive and unreasonable belief that your own language is better than all others. This shows excessive or prejudiced support for one’s own language. Sometimes pride in one’s own language goes too far and linguistic enthusiasts can be easily identified by their extreme zeal for the preservation and spread of their language. In their enthusiasm, love, and support for their own language, they tend to forget that other languages too have their own merits, and long history of art, culture, and literature behind them.
Instead of bringing unity and winning over others as friends, having excessive pride in one’s own language creates ill will and disintegration. The stiff resistance to the acceptance of Hindi as the national language by the southern states of India is a direct outcome of the fear of being dominated by Hindi enthusiasts. The result is that ‘One India’ remains only a slogan.
