MatriBasha Diwas (INTERNATIONAL MOTHER TONGUE DAY)
Symbiosis Law School Hyd - 21ST FEBRUARY, 2017
“Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.”
– Rita Mae Brown
Being exposed to the existence of other languages increases the perception that the world is populated by people who not only speak differently from oneself but whose cultures and philosophies are other than one’s own. Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow and if we try to understand each other’s language, we may even become friends.
As per directives of Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Govt. of India, on 21st February 2017, the Cultural Cell of Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad organised an event to celebrate “Matrabhasha Diwas” in order to raise awareness about one’s mother tongue and to promote the use of mother tongues in our institution.

The event began with lighting of the lamp by the Director Dr. M.I.Baig and Deputy director Dr. Sukhwinder Singh Dari accompanied by the entire teaching faculty. It was followed by an enthralling drama by the Centre for Specialising in Performing Arts on the significance of Nation and mother tongue in once life. The drama was about how an NRI who comes back to his land is hit by it’s sorrows and helplessness. After the drama all the competitions began. Starting with elocution, there were 7 participants, all of them spoke in their mother tongue. But as it is known that in every competition there is a winner. Out of the 7 participants we chose 3 amazing speakers. The 1st prize was given to Aishwarykant Chaturvedi who enthralled the audience by his amazing speech in Hindustanti language (mix of hindi and urdu), 2nd prize was given to Joby Noble for his speech in Malyalam and the 3rd prize was bagged by Soumya Sangidhanam for her speech in Telegu. Then it was followed by the dance performances representing the mother tongue of each performer. All the performances were as mesmerising as ever. The first prize was bagged by two performances one being a duet performance by Amrita Kundu and Kshitij Singh and the other a solo performance by Saumya Kapoor. And the third prize was given to Tressa Maria Joseph and her group who performed on a Kerala song. Once all the dance performances were over it was time for the singing performances. The performers took the audience on a melodious trail of various languages from Bengali to Malyalam to Hindi. Everyone was awestruck by the performances. The first prize for singing was bagged by Sreejita Mitra and Paulomi Goswami. The second and the third prize was bagged by Joby Noble and group and Udepta Chaudhary.

Interestingly, one of the prominent political thinkers who believed in the philosophy of violence for political change made strikingly contrast statement, He quoted “Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend." This amazing statement is relevant to every civilized society in every age because it clearly talks about the importance of ideas, the clash of ideas, and the elimination of ideas but not about the elimination of the people.
