English and India

English has become the 3rd BIggest Medium of Instruction. Do you think that though English is not the first language of nation but in reality it hold top position?

Ruggedboyz says: If their is one nation which was not an english speaking one, but caught on to english like no other nation did. It has to be india, from being the language where most official work was carried out in to, one that helped get a job to, one if u speak it u belong to the 'hip' and the 'elite' to now channels and movies catering to them india has caught on to english like wood does to fire


Virtualscorpio says: Till such time India finds its feet in the International market & establishes itself as a big player, which it is trying 2 do currently, we have 2 accept that Englisg has 2 dominate as the media of instructions.


Sarika says: humko nhi sochna chahiye but hum bhi isi ke saath chal rhe ! becaus we cannot controlthe past we can not control the future what we do have rightin front of us


Vamsi says: it is a fact that english has become indispensable today. but importance to hindi our national language should be given. also people of various regions should give importance to their mother tongue as well. hindi and regional languages is real bharat varsh ! :-)


Niceguy251 says: Importance of a language lies in it's richness in various fields and it's adaptability. We all know that most of technical & scientific education is carried out in english as it has the huge store of such information. English has been accepting words from other languages and making it universal. Examples are many, just to quote some " Pyajama, Curry, Minar and Bandobast etc. Each nation has it's national language and it is their linking language. Can we Indians keep our heads raised and say the same for Hindi with conviction without taking shelter benind official status? I have stayed almost in all the regions of our vast country and I can vouch for it that it is either the local language or english which was required by me to communicate while being out of Hindi belt. We can not force but have to make persons understand that we need a national language and obvisiouly it will be the one spoken by the majority.
