The greatest sensation of life is to learn a language. One has to closely watch a child going through this experience, to be convinced of this. Every time he learn a new word or construction from mother, father or other relatives, his heart is filled with wonder, excitement, thrill and creative urge and he toys with its various forms and tones bringing into play all the creative forces within him.
To learn a new language is to re-enter this wonderful experience of life, opening infinite opportunities for creative action. Besides, in a fast expanding world transcending all barriers of colour, caste, religion and language, a new language is an essential tool of life.

Since Hindi is mother-tongue of about 30 crores of people and is spoken or understood by another 20 crores or so and since it is the principal link language of the greatest democracy of the world, acquaintance with this not only enables one to establish a direct communication with millions of people, thereby promoting his career prospects and business interests, but also gives him the spiritual satisfaction of belonging to a vast family.
The book can also be helpful to foreigners who are on visit to India as tourists, scholars, diplomats and businessmen as it would enable them to move about in different parts of the country transending the language barriers.
