Hello

I think the ignorance about our literature is primarily due to external forces. Culture and language usually fourish in the presence of military and economic independence and social development. Actually they are all inter-connected and it is difficult to say which leads to what.

Since we have been under varying degrees of foriegn rule for around 800 years now, it is just natural that this is happening. Of course, now that India is moving towards increased capitalism and federalism, regional priorities and preferences will play an important part in national politics. And that in turn will show some good results on the culture/language front.

Hopefully.
