Is Maithili a dialect of Hindi or a language of its own?
This reel dives into the deep-rooted language identity conflict in India—starting with the case of Maithili, often listed under Hindi’s dialects but fiercely defended as a distinct language by its speakers.

We explore:
• How Maithili was once classified under Hindi in school textbooks
• The paradox of Vidyapati being called both a Hindi poet and Maithili’s literary pioneer
• The politics of 8th Schedule recognition
• What this means for other regional languages like Tamil, Bengali, and Bhojpuri
• And the growing discomfort with Hindi’s dominance even within so-called Hindi-speaking states

This isn’t just about language. It’s about culture, identity, and power.

Watch as Vijender unpacks the layered debate of language hierarchy, regional pride, and the politics behind who gets to decide what’s a language and what’s just a dialect.
