Jha, Mithilesh Kumar (Lecturer in political science),

Language politics and public sphere in North India : making of the Maithili movement / Mithilesh Kumar Jha. - New Delhi, India : Oxford University Press, 2018. - xix, 341p. : illustrations (black and white), maps (black and white) ; 22cm.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-327) and index.

Moving beyond the existing scholarship on language politics in north India which mainly focuses on Hindi-Urdu debates, this book examines the formation of Maithili movement in the context of expansion of Hindi as the 'national' language. It revisits the dynamic hierarchy through which a distinction is produced between 'major' and 'minor' languages.
