Why Children Must Read Indian Authors And Titles
"Your child's sense of self worth comes from her relationship with her immediate environment."
Whether in vernacular or in English language, it is important to read modern Indian literature as it develops a deep relationship with the culture and community we live in. It strengthens the sense of belonging or identity in our children.
