AB - The state organization corresponding to linguistic states in India reveals the problematic nation-building process of Indian modern history unlike the state-formation process. In addition to defining the institutional framework of the state organization, the languages of the country play the crucial role in forming the ‘imagined community’ in India. Related to the establishment of new states, new debates have recently emerged on the language policy and the Hindu nationalist camp, which is trying to lay over an integrated national identity. In this context the linguistic and cultural medium of the Indo-Aryan traditions (i.e., Sanskrit) and Dr. Ambedkar, who was consistently devoted to the elimination of Dalit discrimination, are recalled in modern Indian political debates. In this suspicious narrative, some facts were distorted and the original contexts were presented in a contrary way. In this paper, some relevant facts will be clarified and the meaning of the intended mystification will be contextualized and explained in the context of political symbol manipulation for the nation-building procedure from the Hindu nationalist side.
