In the year 2117, Allen, an acclaimed Oscar-winning director from the United Kingdom, comes across a book in his deceased grandfather's library. Upon asking his grandmother about the unfamiliar language, she says that the book was written in Hindi, one of the languages of India, and was her mother tongue.Fascinated by this previously over-looked aspect of his heritage, Allen decides to honour his grandmother and his other ancestors by travelling to India and making a movie in Hindi. When he arrives in India, however, nothing turns out to be as he had imagined.
HINDI holds the biggest shocking truth of the 22nd Century, a truth which it shames us to accept. It is the disturbing story of a people so ashamed of their own mother tongue that they would prefer it to die out completely than admit they have any knowledge of it whatsoever; the story of the complicit rejection of native civilizations that is often overlooked in this era of globalization. This ground-breaking novel examines how the loss of a language carries away with it an entire culture; a sense of identity and a way of living that will never be seen again.
