Abstract
This paper is about the debate over the role of language in
socio-economic development. Drawing on the experience
of Punjab, we examine the rich historical tradition of
debate about the positive role which language can play in
national development, and suggests a theoretical grounding
for those arguments. The main thrust of this paper is that
development, whether narrowly or broadly defined, cannot
be achieved unless it involves the participation of all in the
development process, and such participation inevitably
requires that people are reached and are able to reach
others in the language or languages in which they are
competent.
