Progress Of Indic Languages Vs English

[Guest]

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I have friend who is a senior manager in a division of WIPRO who related the story of a young man (incidentally a Telugu speaker) who came after six months in WIPRO and asked why he had not been sent to the US. He was informed that his English was not good enough for the job. Upon hearing this the young man was nearly in tears saying that unless he was able to prove that he had been to the US he would not be able to get married.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
sengotuvel, I have heard of stories far worse than this one. In fact, I know of one guy(Telugu) already in the US, whose parents told every prospective bride that he would eventually settle in India in the next five years. <b>He was serially rejected by every girl he saw</b>. This happened in 2000.
So we are well aware of the reality in India today. We are also aware of the contradictions that our lives and careers personify. But being aware of reality is one thing, persuading oneself that this is desirable is another thing altogether.

Opposing Macaulay-uncle's English comes easy for those of us who have already made our lives and our children's lives using that English.

It is strange that those English speaking Indians should oppose the entry of more Indians into benefits of a wider education and currently the ONLY route for an Indian to make a decent living.

This is an ad hominem argument. In any case, no one has said in this thread that English should not be taught at all. Did you even read the previous posts properly?
