History Of Languages of the India

India writes in many languages and speaks in many more voices. And yet, communication has never broken down in this subcontinent. With about 2.4% of the world's land surface and a total of 16% of the world's population (India: A Country Study by James Heitzman and Robert L. Worden eds. Federal Research Division; 1995), India houses according to one estimate, 1,652 “mothertongues” – including 103 foreign mother tongues (Census 1961 & Nigam 1972: p. xv). Writing came to India much earlier than many other civilizations – from the days of the Indus Valley Civilization, by over four thousand years ago, and the space has also witnessed emergence of some of the great writing systems like the Brāhmī and the Kharosthī – dating back to roughly 500 B.C. Today, India is a space with perhaps the largest base of books, authors and publication houses with about at least 70,000 new titles published every year, enjoyed by over 600 million readers of books in India.
