Language and literature are the bedrock of human civilization, serving as the conduits through which ideas, emotions, and experiences are conveyed, preserved, and understood across generations. Language enables communication, fostering connections and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and culture

Literature, on the other hand, encapsulates the essence of humanity, offering insights into the human condition, societal values, and individual perspectives. It transcends time and space, serving as a mirror to society and a beacon of enlightenment.
