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.
