It all really hit home when I moved to India for high school. India is painfully
multilingual - in urban areas most people speak at least two languages, while in
rural areas you can drive for a day and pass through half a dozen different
linguistic zones.India’s enormous variety of languages and cultures give it a
vibrancy that I have yet to experience in any other country. Yet for someone who
speaks none of them fluently, I know I’m missing out on a fundamental part of
being an Indian. It was only when I arrived in London that I realized what I was
missing. For once, I knew how to speak, fluently, the language of the majority.I
definitely wouldn’t say I was English, but after years of living in places where I
didn’t speak the native tongue, I finally realized what it was like to feel ‘at home’
in a country. (193 words)

create a society in which we have shared experiences and a strong sense of
community. Despite the fact that they do not reflect reality, they provide an
important social glue. Reality programmes play that role in contemporary society
with viewership being almost a cultural imperative, an experience shared
simultaneously with friends and family.
