The mother tongue, the language spoken at home and inherited from one’s ancestors, holds immeasurable value in shaping an individual’s identity and fostering a profound sense of belonging. It serves as the cultural cornerstone, connecting generations and preserving heritage. Language is not merely a tool for communication; it embodies the unique traditions, customs, and wisdom passed down through centuries.
One of the pivotal roles of the mother tongue is its influence on cognitive development. Studies have shown that children who are proficient in their mother tongue perform better academically and develop stronger critical thinking skills. Language is the gateway to understanding complex concepts, enabling individuals to explore the world with a broader perspective.
Furthermore, the mother tongue nurtures emotional expression. It provides a nuanced vocabulary to convey feelings, thoughts, and experiences accurately. This emotional fluency enhances interpersonal relationships and promotes empathy and understanding among diverse communities.
In the globalized world we live in today, preserving the mother tongue is essential for cultural diversity. It enriches society by offering diverse perspectives, traditions, and knowledge systems. When individuals embrace and honour their mother tongue, they contribute to a tapestry of languages that collectively enhance humanity’s intellectual and cultural wealth.
In conclusion, the mother tongue is not just a means of communication; it is a reservoir of cultural heritage, a facilitator of cognitive growth, and a conduit for emotional expression. Its preservation is paramount, ensuring the richness of human experiences and sustaining the invaluable diversity that defines our world.

Dr. Jordan Peterson tells : “It appears possible that writing, which is a formalized form of thinking, helps people derive information from their experiences that help them guide their perceptions, actions, thoughts, and emotions in the present…
Good handwriting is really important. It’s not just about making your words look nice; it has many benefits. Here’s Hamsika of Class 6 to share her views on the topic.
Oratory, the art of eloquent speech, has been a potent force shaping the course of history and inspiring masses. Throughout centuries, leaders have harnessed the power of words to ignite revolutions, foster unity, and drive change. Winston Churchill, the stalwart British Prime Minister, once said, “We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.” This sentiment underscores the significance of oratory in leadership.
Great orators like Martin Luther King Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech exemplify the impact of persuasive rhetoric. His words, “I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream,” resonated deeply, fuelling the civil rights movement in the United States. Similarly, Mahatma Gandhi’s eloquence galvanized India’s fight for independence, his words echoing, “In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Historically, orators like Abraham Lincoln transformed nations with their speeches. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, with its timeless words, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” encapsulates the essence of democracy and inspired generations.
Abraham Lincoln
Oratory transcends time, as seen in the mesmerizing speeches of leaders like Nelson Mandela, whose words, “It always seems impossible until it is done,” inspired hope and reconciliation in post-apartheid South Africa.
Nelson Mandela
Shakespeare exemplified the power of speech through the oratory power of his two immortal characters; Brutus and Antony in his epic drama, Julius Caesar.
Brutus and Antony in the epic drama, Julius Caesar
Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s noble words “To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.” clearly show us the power of speech that inspires generations to come.
Pandit Jawaharlal’s energetic speech ‘Tryst with Destiny’ is yet another example of oratory with a purpose.
In essence, oratory has a transformative power, capable of bridging divides, instilling hope, and driving societies toward progress. Through the ages, leaders have harnessed this art, proving that words, when wielded with eloquence and purpose, have the power to change the world.
