Race and Language

          Language is definitely the source of communications between people but because of the stereotyping and different contributions by racism, language intends to destroy the relationship among people. The definition for race and culture is given by looking at the racial characteristics. Because of the race, the color etc humankind are separated into different ethnic groups and those ethnic groups have been understanding each other through the language interpreted only by the people in the ethnic group. The main reason which lead to the classification in the mankind was the distinction in the racial classification.

          From the context of history, several examples can be seen as a result of racism. Centuries back when there was a system of castes in India people were put into different groups according to the skin color, family background and the different accents in the language they speak. The different castes were the Brahmins, were the high priests and religious leaders; Kshatriyas, were kings and noblemen; Vaishyas, were the businessmen and merchants; Sudras, were workers; Dalits (Untouchables), were the group which was treated like slaves. The Dalits were not to walk through the path of the brahmins or the noblemen. People with a darker skin was considered as the low class people than the people who had lighter skin color. Even though the same language, the people who spoke differently than the high class people were also considered inferior. The Dalits had an accent in their way of speaking the language. They had speak to the Brahmins in a special way. They all contributed to differentiation in class which led to disunity among the people of the same nation.

          A race, or a nation is determined not only determined by the people's physical characteristics but is universally defined through the different ideologies the race share. In simple words, arguments debate that, if the world was entirely limited to one language and culture, it would be more easier for the people to understand each other and they would share the same ideologies. Racism has been demolishing the meaning of relationships through out the world. Racism has been promoting racial segregation and violence. Because there is a variation in race, nations have been struck into unresolved conflicts leading these unresolved conflicts into personal conflicts between individuals. These personal conflicts which can might sustain for generations basically destroy the motives of mankind.
