Rajnath Singh is
certainly not the first person to hold English responsible for the decline of
Indian languages and, by extension, Indian culture. Knowledge of English does
tend to change our work and consumption habits and the way we are. But in a
globalised and intricately connected world, English is inevitable. From Europe
to China, non-English- speaking people are racing to gain competency in
English.
In India, adopting English
had become inevitable even before the globalisation idea began. When we
developed our premier institutions of higher learning using the English medium,
we sent out a message that higher levels of aspiration are concurrent with
English. What unites the modern workplace across north, south, east and west
India is the English language. Whether in higher education or opportunities in
the workplace, there is a definite disadvantage to not knowing English.
The middle class has
always preferred English as a medium of schooling. Today, even small towns and
villages are clamouring for schools in the English medium. Wherever low-cost
private English-medium schools are available, government and non-English-medium
schools are facing an exodus. Political rhetoric aside, corporation, government
and aided schools have started introducing English-medium sections within their
schools in response to this situation. It is a different matter altogether that
most of these schools and many of the low-cost private schools are English-medium
in label only, since it is practically impossible to find enough teachers with
fluency in English.
1.
Who are competing to gain proficiency in English
language?
2.
When had India adopted English?
3.
Why are low-cost-private schools English-medium
in label only?
