Academic literature on the topic 'Bhojpuri language'

When people ignore their cinema, there is a danger of disappearance of it with the times. At such bad times for Maithili Cinema, it is worth struggling for this small regional language cinema through academic discussions. Despite having its diverse art and literature, Maithili cinema strives hard to tackle all those indifferences. People and government are solely responsible for this directionless journey of Maithili cinema, and the ignorance is majorly coming from their cultural etiquettes. The ignorance on the part of the government adds an unfamiliar condition for the cinema to sustain itself independently in Bihar. This study explores the root causes of the suffering of Maithili Cinema in its land and the financial discrimination between Bhojpuri language Cinema and Maithili language Cinema. Maithili Cinema is badly influenced by Bhojpuri Cinema in terms of content, losing its originality and independent identity. As the researcher did not find any scholarly documentation regarding Maithili Cinema, this fresh research is undertaken using a qualitative research methodology taking in-depth interviews of the experts in Maithili society.

Nepal is a multilingual country in terms of language users. Of the 124 mother tongues spoken in Nepal, twenty-one languages are spoken by more than one lakh speakers. Among the 109 mother tongues spoken in Kosi Province, Nepali, Maithili and Limbu are the languages spoken by more than one lakh speakers; among the 62 mother tongues spoken in Madhes Province, the languages spoken by more than one lakh speakers are Maithili, Bhojpuri and Bajjika. Similarly, among 109 languages spoken in Bagmati Province Nepali, Tamang, and Nepal Bhasa; among 74 mother tongues spoken in Gandaki Province, Nepali, Magar, and Gurung; among 68 mother tongues spoken in Lumbini Province, Nepali, and Tharu; out of 49 mother tongues spoken in Karnali Province, Nepali; Khas and Magar; and out of 74 mother tongues spoken in Sudurpashchim Province, Nepali, Doteli and Tharu are the languages spoken by more than one lakh speakers. Similarly, Nepali, Maithili, and Bantwa are found to be spoken as second languages in Koshi Province; Nepali, Maithili, and Bhojpuri in Madhesh Province; Nepali, Tamang, and Nepal Bhasha in Bagmati Province; Nepali, Tamang, and Magar in Gandaki Province; Nepali, Awadhi, and Tharu in Lumbini Province; Nepali, Magar, and Urdu in Karnali Province; and Nepali, Doteli, and Tharu are found to be spoken as second languages in Sudurpashchim Province. Maithili, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Limbu, Magar, and Newari mother tongues have been prepared for classes 1 to 12 for teaching in multilingual classes. Since the mother tongue of these native and second language speakers is Nepali and the second language as well as the medium of higher education is English, there is a need to make Nepal's language policy multilingual.}

The last two decades have witnessed a notable proliferation of media industries producing low-budget digital films and music videos. These media industries routinely stage a confrontation between modernity and a fantasy of pure cultural traditions. The bulk of their content deploys the male star as an extraordinary crossover figure – the only one capable of bringing modernity and its vernacular outsides on the negotiating table. Drawing upon the trajectory of Bhojpuri media industry – referring to the language spoken in parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh and western Bihar – this paper discusses, via Bruno Latour, the fundamental discord at the heart of modernity. I argue that the libidinal economy has emerged as a narrative simplification of the purifying imperative of modernity, haunted as it is by the concurrent hybridizing force-field.
