What happened in Sri Lanka? In 1956 the year the states of India were repganised on the basis of language the Parliament of Sri Lanka then ceylon introduced on act recognising sinhala as the sole official language of the country.

The new act was opposed by the tamil speaking minority  who lived in the north of the island when you deny me my language said one tamil MP you deny me everything you are hoping for a divided ceylon warned another adding bo not fear I assure you that you will have a divided ceylon an opposition member himself sinhala speaking predicted that if the government did not change its mind and insisted on the act being passed two torn little bleeding states might yet arise out of one little state. For several decades now a civil war has taged in Sri Lanka whose roots lie in the imposition of the sinhala language on the tamil speaking minority and another south asi as n country pakistan was divided into two what the Bengali speakers of the east felt that their language was being suppreesd. By contrast india has managed to survive as a single nation in part because the many regional languages were given freedom to flourish had hindi been imposed on south india in the way that urdu was imposed on rast pakistan or sinhala on northern Sri Lanka India too might have seen civil war and fragmentation contrary to the fears of jawahalal Nehru and sadar patel linguistic states have not threatened the unity of India Rather they have deepened this unity once the fear of one language being suppressed has gone the different linguistic groups have been content to live as part of the larger nation called india.

Those age old time tested furaces still exist. The fire in the fauriances a has not yet been extinuished. The thud and jingle for the traditional baker,s bambo, heardling his arrival in the morning can still be heared in some places Myble the father in not alive but the son still carries on the family proession.

Rammohun Roy was particularly moved by the problem widows faced in those lives. He began a campaign against the practice of sati. Rammohun Roy was well versed in Sanskrit persian and several other Indian and European languages. He tried to show through his writings that the practice of widows burning had no sanction in ancient texts By the early nineteenth century as you have read in chapter 7 many British officials had also begun to criricse Indian traditions and customs. They were therefore more than willing to listen to Rammohun who was reputed to be a learned man.
