The Being of Bhasha: A General Introduction
(Volume 1, Part 2)
Chief Editor: G.N. Devy
The first volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India brings to the reader the journey
undertaken in 2010, by a group of visionaries led by G.N. Devy to document the languages
of India as they existed then. The aim of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India was to
document the languages spoken in India’s remotest corners. India’s towns and cities
too have found a voice in this survey. The Being of Bhasha forms the introduction to the
series.

The Languages of Jammu & Kashmir

(Volume 12, Part 2)
Volume Editor: Omkar N. Koul
The twelfth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India documents the languages of the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The
book is divided into three parts—the first part covers the scheduled languages, Dogri and
Kashmiri; the second part, the non-scheduled and minor languages; and the third part is
devoted to Sanskrit, Persian, Hindi and Urdu which have played an important role in the
state and also influenced local languages. Though Urdu is the official state language, of late
there has been a shift in the linguistic profile in Jammu & Kashmir as there have been some
linguistic movements towards inclusion of local languages in various domains.
In the discussions about the languages, there is information about their contemporary
status, their historical evolution and structural aspects. The linguistic map included in the
volume also gives an idea of areas where the main languages are spoken. It is hoped that
this volume will not only engage the reader, but will also stand as testimony to people’s
perception of their languages.

The Languages of Meghalaya

(Volume 19, Part 2)
Volume Editor: Esther Syiem
The nineteenth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India documents the languages
of the state of Meghalaya, beginning at the grassroots and involving speakers from all walks
of life, so as to bring to readers the linguistic and cultural heritage of the state. Apart from
the dominant languages spoken in the state—Khasi, Pnar and Garo, the varieties of these
languages too are described in great detail. Care has been taken to record the voices of the
informants in the true nature of the survey, so that the volume is not a mere cataloguing of
languages, but mirrors the spirit and world view of the speakers.
In the discussions about the languages, there is information about their contemporary
status, while the sections on the main languages also contain information about their
historical evolution and structural aspects. The linguistic maps included in the volume also
give a general idea of areas where the main languages are spoken.

The Languages of Tamil Nadu

(Volume 27, Part 2)
Volume Editors: V. Gnanasundaram and K. Rangan
The nineteenth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India documents the languages
prevalent in the state of Tamil Nadu. Critically, the book encapsulates the world view of the
speakers of the discussed languages.
Apart from a detailed study of scheduled languages such as Telugu and Malayalam, that
involves the discussion on various linguistics features as well as the literature, The Languages
of Tamil Nadu brings to the readers a wealth of information on Tamil, as also the languages
spoken by other speech communities like Saurashtri and Tanjavur Marathi. It also documents
the languages of tribal communities like the Irula and Toda and nomadic communities such as
Narikkuravar, most of which are on the verge of extinction.

Indian Sign Language(s)

(Volume 38, Part 2)
Volume Editors: Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Nisha Grover & Surinder P. K. Randhawa
This thirty-eighth volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India is devoted to the Indian
Sign Language (ISL), the language of the Deaf in India. The articles in the volume are
divided into four parts. The first discusses both its formal linguistic and ‘orthographic’
features; the second presents the sociolinguistic themes of the ISL such as bilingualism
and language variety as well as language planning and policy issues. Part Three presents
various synchronic aspects of the ISL. The final part comprises articles on themes
interfacing Sign Languages and other knowledge systems. This very first collection of
articles on the ISL is a critically important contribution to the discipline.

Literary Contexts
Literary Contexts recognises that literature is always rooted in its social milieu and that we need to study literary cultures
in all their complexity and connections. It offers the thrill of locating a text within its context and seeing a context reflected
in a literary/cultural text.
Each of the books in this series offers students of English and other literatures concise, informative insights into the
history of ideas embodied in literary texts, authors and movements. Organised around themes and ideas with extensive
examples from literary and cultural texts, the books enable students to understand how the “literary” takes shape in an
intellectual milieu and discover manifestations of abstract ideas in literary texts. Written by scholar-teachers who have
taught and researched literature for several years, each volume in the series is a standalone reference book for students
and teachers alike.

AC WARD A.C. Ward Series: The Plays of Bernard Shaw

SERIES
One of the greatest dramatists of English literature, Bernard Shaw is among the most notable writers of his
time. Shaw’s plays are marked by a peculiarly pungent and witty satire that invoked both admiration and disdain. They not
only provoked readers to think, but also helped them notice the humour and irony of situations that were ordinarily taken for
granted.
Orient Blackswan’s series of Shaw’s most famous plays, edited by the renowned critic A.C. Ward, has long been popular
with both teachers and students. In addition to the play itself, each title in this series has the playwright’s own preface, a
general introduction to Shaw, a specific introduction to the play itself, and also extensive notes to guide the reader. The series
has now been enriched with additional student-friendly features such as analyses of themes and characterisation, act-wise
summaries and questions, and also a select reading list.
