On 11th November, 2022, the North-East Cell, Hansraj College organised a speaker session on the topic - "Literature, Identity and the notion of the North-East" by Dr. Deepshikha Mahanta Bortamuly, Associate Professor, Department of English, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi.

Literature, as a field of study, opens up our mind from the cocoon where we are living in and expands our perspectives. One of the striking examples of this is the fact that North-East is not homogeneous. It doesn’t have a homogenous identity that mainstream culture often seem to endorse. It is composed of different tribes, different belief systems, and different languages. Even the idea of a language is political since a lot of times some languages are not given the status of a language but only a dialect. Language is however very important to human existence. We live through language, we perceive it, and we cannot come out of it.

Dr. Deepshikha highlighted the importance of mother tongue to mental health and how the presence of mother tongue evokes a feeling of home even when one is miles away from home.

The speaker and the audience engaged in an interactive session during which they discussed identity, its multifaceted nature, and stereotypes associated with various sets of identities.
