The English Bashing! |
||||||||||
by Dr. Varanasi Ramabrahmam |

|||||||||
English language is vehemently opposed by many politicians, regional language supporting intellectuals, and the like for their own reasons, whims and fancies. English language is an international language. It may be the language of the Britishers who colonized us. Just for that reason condemning English language is not wise or common sense. Why should we lose our prosperity because of these unpatriotic and selfish politicians and ill-informed intellectuals? The whole world is now learning English language. The Chinese, the French, the Germans, the Russians and a whole lot of citizens of various countries who thought their mother tongue is enough and are taught through medium of their mother tongue are now becoming proficient in English sensing its advantage. The current economic giant China, now started teaching English language to its citizens from primary level observing Indian superiority in IT-related activities and job-opportunities and other advantages of having proficiency in English.
If we have to shun English because of its foreign origin, we have to shun all technology, gadgets and many other comforts and other modern living pleasures we are enjoying because all of them are of foreign origin. We have to shun communism and socialism, since they are also of foreign origin. Are our politicians and psudo- intellectuals ready for such a boycott? Why they want to play with our lives and future? Who gave them that right? Let each citizen decide what one wants. If they like to learn through regional language let them do so. Let others not force it on us. |
