Dear Bodhiji,
The drop in the circulation of the English newspapers may be attributed to the growth in the readership of the Indian language newspapers. If that is true then it is indeed a very positive development. However, it needs to be checked whether the drop in circulation of the English newspaper is due to the fact that more of the readers are now reading the newspapers on their computers and internets. It is a fact that more and more English newspapers are bringing out electronic and pda editions.Therefore, it needs further investigation to ascertain the actual situation.
On the ground, the heavy pressure on the English medium schools is indicative of the direction in which the wind is blowing. If the present trend of the youngsters is allowed t progress unchecked, the sari will soon be a rare species in Urban India.
