Tips for your answer

Start with context: Begin by mentioning India’s linguistic diversity (e.g., 22 scheduled languages, 19,500 dialects) and highlight Dogri as an example of an endangered regional language.
Structure the body well: Divide it into (a) causes of decline – globalization, migration, lack of institutional support, English dominance, etc., and (b) preservation measures – education in mother tongue, digital documentation, cultural promotion, and policy implementation.
End with a value-based conclusion: Conclude by linking linguistic preservation to India’s cultural identity and inclusivity, emphasizing the need to “decolonize linguistics” and promote regional pride.
