When we try to see something beyond? when we are already in that space and want to explore things beyond.

While working with the Reang tribe in Tripura, India. I realized that their language is on the verge of extinction. Not only bru language but there are many Indian languages that have the last generation of speakers. The problem is not that someone is forcing them to speak another language rather the problem is that due to colonial construct and more technologically friendly languages have captured their imagination. Thus, the younger generation is not ready to speak in their mother tongue. And these problems are not getting much space in academia. First, the problem needs to be identified then it needs to be re-iterated in academic circles. Then with the help of network and technology tools shall be provided to encode their languages. A 360-degree model should be made to get space in academia and then it reverse nodes should reach to the subjects.
