The central government decided to allow the state governments to pick their official languages and recognized constitutionally other languages of India. For now, the Indian constitution and its 28 states recognizes 18 Indian languages, though different states have different official languages and some of them not recognized by the central government. Only English and Hindi have official status in all states. PRECOLONIAL: RELIGION Before the British, the most dominant Empire of north India (Hind/ Hindustan) was the Moghul Empire, whose Hindi/Hindustani lan- guage and script were based on the ancient Indian Sanskrit language (Devanagiri script). Based on Hindi, Arabic and Persian, Urdu (Perso-Arabic script) became the language of the Muslims and was used for official purposes under the British aswell. COLONIAL: BUREACRACY AND POLITICAL INSTRUMENTARY Before independence, the Muslims supported the continuation of Urdu (Perso-Arabic script) as the official language of India, while the Hindus supported Hindi - even those who didn‘t speak it as a native language. In order to secure Hindi’s position as the sole official language of India the political leaders convinced the north Indians to claim that they speak a Hindi dialect and so different dialect speakers were put together in the Hindi speaking category by the British bureaucrats. India is called Hind in many languages and the Indians also began calling their different languages as Hindi. POSTCOLONIAL: TRIBAL INTERPRETATION After independence, Muslim Pakistan made Urdu its official language and Indians made Hindi as their official language, but different Hindi language speakers began demanding official recognition of their languages. Most Hindi languages are considered dialects and their status is interpreted differently. Only Punjabi has achieved recognition as an official language.

COLONIAL DE-URBANISATIONTraditional settlements in the Indian hinterlands shrank, as massive reorganisation of India‘s social space was underway and the ubiquity of the colonial economy under the British was extended.

While urban growth concentrates on the colonial metroples, massive imbalances make chances of employment decrease faster in rural areas than they can rise in urban areas.

1947: INDEPENDENCEThrough massive flow of refugees as well as centralised politics in terms of resources, Delhi reaches over a million inhabitants.

SQUATTER CITY MUMBAI More than 50% of Mumbai‘s

population live in slums, facing virtually unlimited access and

spacial proximity to lowest earning migrants from rural areas

in informal settlements.

In search of excellent infrastructure and exclusive western lifestyles, global players of the Indian urban middle and upper class

aspire socially in a land of economical inconsistencies.

INDIAN PARADOXWhile three of the seven biggest cities by

population are located in India, this doesn‘t suggest a high rate of urbanisation.

On the contrary, while more than 50% of the earth‘s population lives in cities, India‘s

grade of urbanisation is lower than 30% - less than in China and other regions of the

third world. India‘s cities are strong superstructures on a weak fundament.

MUMBA TODAYITransformation of Mumbai‘s daily life through new technologies and the rise of Bal Thackeray‘s Shiv Sena party.

DELHI TODAYTransformation in terms of city planning through reinterpretation of Delhi‘s medieval architectural legacy and a repeated phase of neoliberlism.

KOLKATA TODAYThe Bhadralok middle class elite, once playing a fundamental role in the colonial hierarchy system, has been responsable for today‘s aesthetical and political changebility in an urban middle class perception of space.

COLONIAL INDUSTRIALISATIONColonial industrialisation concentrates on the two colonial metropoles Kolkata (jute handkerchiefs) and Mumbai (cotton fabrics).

POSTCOLONIAL DEINDUSTRIALISATIONHigh investments of foreign businessmen concentrate on the

western part of India (above all, Mumbai) while social and cultural uprooting, irrationalisation and brutalisation of daily

routines and policitcs lead to spacial dispersal of traditional/ colonial manufacturing.
