Paper long abstract:

Indian culture has deeply influenced the structure of Hindi language hence in order to understand Hindi, the knowledge of culture will work as resource material for learning language. India is the mother land of Hindi. Hence Hindi and other Indian languages have deep relation with India's culture, land and society. In order to understand the body and soul of "Hindi" the knowledge of culture is expected. Hindi and other Indian languages have emerged from Indo-Aryan family. Some other languages are from Dravidian family but the source or mother of these languages is Sanskrit. Besides culture the knowledge of Sanskrit also helps in understanding the vocabulary, grammatical structure, syntax and nature of Hindi. Panini's grammar also helps in this context.

The Indian culture is developed with assimilation of various other cultures. Hindi and other Indian languages have adopted many words of foreign languages. Speaker learning language as L2 is bound to have different phonology. So the teacher is expected to have knowledge of L1 and L2 & differences between the two.

It was by his culture that on one hand man has expressed his feelings and thoughts and on the other hand given extension in the field of wisdom, science and arts. When the extension of this reflection was expressed for creative manifestation by medium of language it was put into the category of literature. Hence literature is the expression and recreation of life and which itself is the mirror of culture and society.
