Hindi in Ranchi
Hindi is the language a north Indian ritual is explained in rather than performed in. The sankalp names the family, the gotra, the place and the day, and it is said in Sanskrit; what the pandit tells you about it — why this step comes before that one, what the offering stands for, when to fold your hands — is Hindi.
It is also the language families fall back on when a household holds more than one mother tongue, which in a city is most households. A Maithili-speaking grandmother and a Bhojpuri-speaking son-in-law will both follow a katha read in Hindi.
Ranchi is a link-language city. Nagpuri, Kurmali, Santali, Bengali and Bhojpuri households all live inside it, and Hindi is what the school, the office and the wedding invitation use. A rite explained in Hindi here is a rite everyone at it can follow.
Jharkhand's capital also gathers families who moved for the steel, coal and government work of the last three generations, which means a single gathering regularly holds three mother tongues and one shared one. The pandit's explanation is the part of the day that has to reach all of them at once.
