BHOTI LANGUAGE AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Language is a medium of instruction in society. It determines the culture of society. There is interdependent relation between culture and language. In fact culture is the product of agro facts (product of cultivations), artifacts (product of industry) socio facts (social organization and mentifacts language, religion, arts an so on). Bhoti is the most important language of the center Asian civilization. It is very difficult to present the origin of the Bhoti language in development of human civilization. Many studies proved that the primary form of this language was dialectics of people of entire Himalayan region of India. There for Bhoti is the mother tongue of Himalayan people as well as source of Indian culture.
According to evidence it was written in different script of Central Asia in ancient period. But today there is not any literature available in these scripts. Time and again an independent script has developed in late 7th B.C. in the form of Brahmi scripts. Some historian argued that it was made of refined scripts of Gupta period. Ancient literature in this language is in oral form. It developed as independent script in 7th B.C., since the literature was written in this language are in larger number. Later on the basis of Panini’s Grammar of Bhoti language came out.
It is the general theory that language developed from dialectics. Dialectics develop in the particular Geographical boundaries as a result of behavior and Sanskar of the local people. The earliest form of Bhoti language was the dialectics of great central Asia. There is no need to give historical details about the races that live in Asia. But there expansion seems from China to Northern Himalayan India. The refine forms of dielectics of these people are called Bhoti language.
Bhoti language denotes the language of Bhoti lineage. Due to language of Bhoti races its call bhoti language. There are many legendaries about Bhoti races. There is famous legends that people of Bhoti has a religion with the Rajput Lineage of Dwapar era. After the defeat of Kaurvas in Mahabharata, many Raj put took shelter with family in Himalaya. Bhoti lineage was developed by them only. Due to this, some argue that the Bhoti language is the member of the family of Aryan language. Another important legend is the Pandwas stayed at the origin of the River Vyas – called ‘Manu-Alay’ – modern name Manali during there forest life (Vanvas). Bhimsen get opportunity to get interacts with the Queen Hidimba. There interaction give a birth of two children named elder one was Kullu and he sene his yanger son ‘Bhot’ to devlok which suppose to situated after Rothang valley. Bhot has established his kingdom in devlok which later become ‘Bhot’ language. It is very difficult to the expansion of Bhot Kingdom. The language of these people is called Bhoti language. It is very difficult rely on these legendaries but it is also the fact the Bhoti language denotes the dialectics of entire Himalayan People.
AREA OF BHOT : There is the language of masses and local people of Himalaya. It is also link language of the people who live under the boundary of Himalya. It has been used in classical form for speaking writing in Bhutan, Nepal, Magnolia, Tibet and entire central Asia. After Nineteenth century large number of research an studies has been conducted by different universities of Asia, Europe, America on Bhoti language and its classical literature which were related to this. With the main language of central language of Central Asia , Bhoti is link and cultural language of Zanskar, Ladakh, Spiti, Kinnaor, UtterKashi, Sikkim, Khlimpong, Darjeeling, Arunachal and the entire Himalayan range of India.

BHOTI LITERATURE:
The value and development of any language has been judged through available literature on the concerned language. The classical literature in Bhoti language is not only available in the ‘Bhot’ countries but it is also available in different countries Lichi to America. The availabilities of only translations from Sanskrit to Bhoti are more than ten thousand. In addition, there are large numbers of literature available which were written independently by Bhot scholar’s in Bhoti language. For example more than one hundred volumes has been has been written by scholar Tsogyal Namgyal (Pandit Vijay).

The Buddhist preaching on Tantra’s are also available in more than forty volumes. All these above texts were originally written in Sanskrit which later on translated in Bhoti. At present these texts were not available in its original language. In other words, it may be said that from 7th to 18th century, the composition of texts in this language is more that of any language. Besides, there were various numbers of texts which has been composed after 15th century.

To express Indian spiritualization, Sanskrit is necessary. Likewise Bhoti is necessary to express Bodh feeling and Bhots expression. Tat’s why the institute of higher studies in developed and most developing countries are pursuing the study of Bhoti.
After all, wouldn’t be wrong to say that to preserve Indian culture, Bhoti language should be provided constitutional safe guard. It will create awareness among people about their culture identity and integrity. It will also help to bring Himalayan people into national mainstream of the country since the subject matter available in this language is primarily related to Indian Culture and Philosophy.

These very kines saying bu Shakespeare and wordsworths can be confined and suitable with the life of people living in these enormons place Lahaul&
Spiti. The people of this place live the life of purity and happiness in the midest of the nature.
It is the place where I was born and spent mu childhood in the midst of the nature and it seems to me that the creation of this place must be on some special occasion when god look a special time to create this place.
God had gifted it with the naked mountain covered with show sheet and raise of the sun though the prolar mountain lady of keylong in its capital makes it more beautiful and attractive.
The land is not only found with desert soil, but the valley grass up with the lash green place in its surrounding during the summer.
Situated in the midst of the two famous passes Baralacha on the one side and Rontang pass on the other side makes its passes close in the winter due to heavy snowfall, forms its unique geographical condition and constitution of India has referred this valley as a tribal valley or (S.T).
The Lahaul valley is created with the two reveres flowing through its heart “Chandra and Bhaga” which combined together at Tandi called sangam and forms the Chenab. The whispering sound of these rivers echoes through the entire valley. The chilly wind blows through the mountain in the winter season. The sky of the valley looks as blue as the sea. People here are of soft nature and true from heart on follows different religion. Its old traditions and customs are as attractive as its geographical condition. It is the place of religious uniformity where many monasteries and temples are situated and people are very frightful towards religion.
One can realize the inner beauty and beauty of Lahaul and spiti in both ways when one is here or out side from the valley, it is an imaginary homeland for any people. This is the place where I was born, Lahaul and Spiti the motherland of ours, a gift from god and a heaven earth.

SERPENTINE SERENADE
The unknown rush , the ecstatic roar
Sullen leap, the sparking foam
Volumes she carry moves the biggest stone
Times; she bring life, some drench in sorrow
Still there yester’ today and morrow’
Keeps the promise back with each go
Beneath valleys talks in loud
Bends if lady such proud
Murmurs all night long vying the sailing cloud
Early morning she waits alone some to fall
Fall on her bank and stare in infinite admiration
the serene lady companion to converse
the soothing salve
the serene sermon
the ser pentive serenade
a humble rise for the works for the rest the unquiet libbon in sivver.
For the adorable lady “Beas”.
