Hello Alisha

According to the government of Maharashtra Muslims come under religious minorities but not linguistic minority because the lingusistic minority is defined to the people  who speak languages who has mother tongue other than regional language and minority in population.For example If you take Maharashtra the linguistic majority are the Marathis and minority would be   Gujarati speaking population.

Hope this helps you

Hello Disha,

English literature and linguistics are both interdisciplinary in nature.You already have a masters degree in Literature , hence I need not explain about its value. It is more of an artistic and philosophical area in English. Whereas , linguistics is a more  technical and scientific in approach . Since you are in this field you can very well understand the difference , so analyse it and decide based on your interests. As far as teaching options are concerned , with linguistics you may have better options in the area of language training than lectureship in universities or colleges. If there is a specific department dedicated for linguistic studies in any university then you may aim for that and accordingly complete you PhD in the same. So if you are very particular about a university lectureship position  , I would suggest PhD in English because it has more scope in academics,because English degrees are offered in all universities  . With linguistics , of course you can continue as a faculty in universities but it is more applicable in areas like language expert, training, foreign language teaching,speech pathology, therapy,you can be a lexicographer, editor or technical writer in good publishing firms etc. More than India it has better scope abroad. However , it all comes down to your interest, if you are very keen on specializing in linguistics , go ahead , teaching will always be an option in both ,so no worries.  Under linguistics further specializations are neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, pragmatics and language acquisition etc.

All the best

Hello Aspirant,

There won't be any serious disadvantage in getting a degree in the subject you like as long as you are well aware of your future plan with it. Linguistics is a specialization in the technical part of the language you choose. If you have specific interest in teaching or becoming a language expert or trainer , then you may get a PhD. Of course the coursework will be hard because it is PhD , so if you do not have that deep interest , it may become exhausting. Now if you are not aware of the job market in this area and has not yet planned about what to do after the PhD, then I suggest you to research about it first. Good job opportunities are there but can't say it is very bright. If you are planning to go abroad to take up any sort of career in linguistics then it may be more rewarding than India.  Computational Linguists ,Speech and language  therapy ,lexicographer,accent coach,language expert/ teacher, copy editor, proofreader or a role in communications field are some areas of work apart from lectureship. But you should be prepared for uncertainty if you are not interested in core teaching , you may not flourish soon unless you are extremely skilled. It all depends on how much interest you have in this area, how much hard work you are ready to put in and what your ultimate career goals are, think about whether putting in so much effort for a PhD course necessary to meet your career expectations  . Research more and take an informed decision.

All the best
