The anti-Persian language campaign
The occasion of International Mother Language Day Feb 21 warrants a look at one of the most beautiful and important languages Persian or Farsi, as it attracts a lot of the wrong kind of attention as well as appreciation by some of the worlds greatest poets; among them Goethe the great German poet who drew on Persian verse for his works.
The wrong kind of attention, on the other hand, has historically come from ill-wishers trying to divide and rule this strategically located rich land which connects the Indian Subcontinent to Europe and is strategically placed on the Silk Routes. A latest attempt at mischief, however, has arisen closer to home under the guise of the hashtag #ManoFarsi or Me&Persian.
