Though it suffered a minor setback during the heydays of technology programmes, now universities are witnessing enrolment of students in large numbers in humanities and language programmes. The revived interest in literature and other subjects of humanities must be seen as a healthy sign as the world is getting torn apart, caught in issues related to regional, linguistic, and religious fundamentalism.
