In a world that is constantly changing, there will be no one subject or set of subjects that will comprehensively serve the youth of our country in the foreseeable future. ‘Continuous learning’ is the buzz doing rounds across the globe and languages provide the basic structural support for any learning and knowledge acquisition. With the globalization of science, technology, and economy, we need to prepare our students for leadership in a new world.

The guiding assumption of the major in multiple languages elucidates the possibility to travel and see new horizons. Nothing facilitates such an attempt better than a journey through its’ Literature, Language and Culture. Whether it is by reading books written by authors unknown, or by thinking through the intricacies of an idea, the narrative of Literature, Language and Culture challenges our minds to travel, expand, grow, and question. All such readings involve an imaginative movement outside the bounds of the familiar.
