Linguistic research has shown that multilingualism gives students many cognitive, economic and social superpowers that monolingualism simply cannot catch up with. Despite this insight, monolingualism continues to be prioritised in Indian classrooms. Especially in India, despite the co-existence of hundreds of languages, barely a few have made it to our schools. When they do make it to the classroom, they exist as individual subjects inspite of the fact that languages mix into each other in reality. Separating languages and forcing children to use only one is like asking them to paint in one colour when there are many more options! The Flourish book series is a refreshing change in this status quo. Helping students triangulate the meaning of stories through English, Tamil, and engaging visuals, it is bound to make a deep and positive impact on young minds as they learn how to use words to shape their worlds. This is an initiative that urgently needs to be replicated across Indian schools.
