The short video presents to you the personification of the Hindi language as a woman who sits dressed in all her finery. She enjoys the ornaments and clothes, feeling an innate sense of pride until voices begin to echo in the background.
A large portion of Indian society still places the English language on a pedestal, allowing neocolonialism to get the better of us. This often also leads to the rejection of the vernacular language of Hindi, spoken by a sizeable population of the country. The video (which could have perhaps gained from a little more clarity in its visuals), shot within a single location in a room, raises the same issue, presenting the viewer with this specific moment in our cultural space.
