Huskyji,
Admittedly it was stupid of him to go to a Skt university and lecture the students but unfortunately that is the nature of things in India - the only important thing today is how to make money and the only way you make money is to walk and talk english. Modi was trying to make english compulsory for all students since he thinks that is the only thing that holds gujjus back in service/software industry. I think RSS was trying to oppose it but I think Modi is going to have his way.
At some point when there is enough of money to go around things like culture etc will come into play but right now Sarasvati-ji has taken a backseat - its Laxmi-ji right now. Give it a decade or two and Sarasvati-ji will come back with a bang. You can see signs of that with movies like Hanuman becoming hit.
Hold on for we are on a wild ride..
