I don’t understand why people don’t get this simple logic that just by speaking in English doesn’t make some one knowledgeable. To me this decision don’t make any sense. Some how most of the Indians are of the impression that just learning English would solve all our problems. In fact the more we become dependent on English the more we become mentally colonized.
There is not even a single country in the world either now or in the past which was developed and based on a foreign language. US, Germany, UK, France, Japan, Russia, India (in the past) etc. As long as our parameter of professional success is getting a visa to US, things are not going to change. I am terribly disappointed with this move. Our current English medium education is producing UNEMPLOYABLE youth in lakhs. I know Engineering graduates who study in English medium from nursery but can’t write a simple leave letter properly. The problem is that they are worse in their mother tongue. It’s the quality of education that should change. Simply introducing English from nursery will only lead to more Western Universalism and Psychological Slavery as it further endorses the view that English Medium is better than Mother tongue as medium of instruction.
