contents <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><em><span>India is home to hundreds of languages and dialects. As digital technology spreads, both English and regional languages (“vernaculars”) face changes. On one hand, modern tools (like AI and mobile internet) can help preserve and share Indian languages. On the other hand, technical issues and social factors pose challenges. This paper explores how the digital age affects Indian languages in general. We discuss how many Indians prefer content in their mother tongue, the barriers that keep vernaculars off the internet, and the ways new technologies (like translation and voice recognition) can help. We also note English’s role: while it links India to global information, relying too much on English can exclude many Indians. We conclude that a balanced approach is needed for India to become a fully multilingual digital society by 2047.</span></em></p> </div>
