Like Modi govt’s NEP, Kothari Commission in 1966 had also recommended education in the mother tongue. But India is not about to turn its face away from English.
The Modi govt’s ambitious National Education Policy completely overhauls India’s education system, but one major decision is to eliminate ‘rigid’ separation of streams.
Growing up in Ambala, I always believed that my Hindi-medium schooling was ‘lesser’. But then I realised this was more to do with social capital than education.
India’s counter-terror focus must go beyond organised modules to include individual radicalisation, mental health-linked violence, and spontaneous attacks in public spaces.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
English would stand for aspiration until India remains a developing country. For India to become a leading economy, Indians must become original thinkers, original researchers and original creators. Originality would come only when Indian childrens are taught in their mother tongue. There is one bottleneck and that is LIBRANDUS Idea of India. We must first dump Librandus Idea of India. Rest will follow.
English remains the language of aspiration in India because Indians, unlike in Germany, France, U.K, Spain, Japan, Russia, Israel, China etc have failed to create and disseminate knowledge in the local language. All countries who give primacy to their own languages are developed and rich. The rest like India are poor, undeveloped and at the bottom on the human development scale.
The party with 303 power seats by focusing on all the lesser stuff you are simply throwing away a huge opportunity of doing good to the nation’s econmically larger section of distressed people. Lift them out of poverty and then let them in turn you bask in its benefits. But you have other designs as exemplified by the way you choose to bring down one after another elected opposition ruled governments. Sad.
If you want to progress, if you want a united country and if you want the World to relate to you, let this be your official goal. Harping on Hindi, Tamil etc will get India nowhere.
Vested interests of English media.
Actually English has kept this cultural confusion alive for many decades. English becomes an issue when it is seen as skill, a language of job. Across India this happens. Skilled but poor English don’t get job. Unskilled but English proficiency secure it. This must change for Make in India, for entrepreneurship, for removing brown sepoy syndrome, for removing this sense distrust in Indian languages.

The parents should be allowed to decide on the “mother tongue” of the child. If it is English how can anyone say it is not?

Our politicians send their kids to costly English medium schools but for masses they want “mother tongue”
