Since the early mediaeval period, India has been one of the most important centres for the study of Arabic language and literature. It has also had a significant effect on numerous Indian languages and literatures. Following independence, new socio-political upheavals, as well as the strategic importance of the Middle East and Gulf countries, increased interest in and scope for the study of Arabic language and literature. Furthermore, being an ancient, rich, and widely recognised language, it contributes greatly to the field of comparative literature.
As a result of all of this, the government of India has always been deeply interested in the growth of Arabic language and literature, with specific reference to Indo-Arab literature, while keeping in mind the standards of higher studies and research since the country’s independence. It must be emphasised that, in addition to job-oriented language study, the necessity of preserving and conserving historic cultural heritage cannot be overstated, as they are no less vital than the study of any other subject. The significance of preserving and conserving historical cultural legacies cannot be overstated, since they are as significant as studying any field of current Arabic literature.
The majority of our students were placed in prestigious academic and non-academic organisations in the nation and overseas, such as university and school teaching, translation bureaus, foreign embassies, and other good employment, particularly in the Middle East. Arabic provides a unique combination of vital language abilities and application in over 20 countries, with about 300 million native speakers. You will get the ability to live, work, and engage with people from a wider range of nations, allowing you to adjust your emphasis as your career progresses. Arabic and its many dialects are spoken by around 422 million native and non-native speakers in the Arab world as well as in the Arab diaspora, making it one of the world’s five most spoken languages.
Indeed, every Kerala household would have at least one member living in the Middle East. Malayalees are recognised for their hard labour across the world, making them a valuable asset to organisations abroad. Most families travel overseas in quest of jobs and education, primarily to Middle Eastern nations, therefore Arabic is vital to our culture as they look for work in the Middle East. The Arabic Department is an additional language department that started in 2010. The department has been supporting MA Arabic course plus UG common courses at the college from the beginning. The aim of the course is to prepare the students who opt for the Arabic language as a common course to use the Arabic language in daily life, especially in communication.
