The Natural Power of Local Languages | Iqbal Qaiser | TEDxLUMS

The speaker talks about the science and relationship of a local language with the geographical region it originates. He talks about the importance of embracing the language and breaking the stereotypes associated with the Punjabi language. Iqbal Qaiser is a historian, anthropologist, poet, story writer, activist, etc. He also happens to be a prolific writer having adventured in numerous fields. What makes this man really special is his unrelenting commitment to Punjabi. Despite the fact that the readership of Punjabi is negligible, and being aware of the fact that one can’t expect to make a living at all by writing in Punjabi, this man continues to serve Punjabi. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
