ENGLISH RUINED US

The first question that may arise in any person's mind is, Why and who introduced English? Well, the answer to this question is very obvious! The British introduced the English Language as well as the western system of education in India. They did so during their rule over India in the 19th century. This was done so that the Indians were moulded according to the British needs and were able to serve the government. Thus, the British could have able officers at a low expense rather getting those from England. Therefore, english was introduced in India and still we people speak English and feel so proud in speaking this language only because it belongs to the WEST! Some of us are so much influenced with the western culture that we forget our own rich Indian culture. I don't say that its all of us who are doing this... but most of our people are heading towards this and this is definitely going to block our country's progress... But the main question is why are we so much involved in learning English and improving it day by day instead of trying to learn our own mother tongue properly... Have you ever tried to understand how much inequality, insecurity and inferiority complex can this language bring to our society? If i'm not mistaken, almost 80% of the Indian people lose their job only because of lack of good communication skills... Parents force their children to learn english even if the child is not interested in it... Even in our society, the person who is more sound in english is considered to be superior than the person who doesn't know to speak english... Our country inspite of having so many types of languages- Hindi, Marathi, Telgu, Tamil, Kanada, Sanskrit... and also different types of each language, most of our people still prefer to give english the 1st priority... Now, at this time it seems simply impossible to get this language out of our country because it has partially become the official language of our country but if this language would not have been introduced then the scene would have been like we would have been like other countries like china, greece, japan, france, germany where all institutions are run in their own language and not english and also if one wants to join any of their institutions they have to first learn their language and then join... isn't that interesting! All people living in Maharashtra would speak only marathi, Karnataka would speak only kanada... and of course the main language would be hindi, all institutions in India would be run in our own languages... so can you imagine how simpler life would be for us, we could study in our own language, there would have been no communication problems, people would have got more encouraged to their work, no time would have got wasted to learn a so called important language like english, equality would have remained in our society and finally all this would have contributed a lot to the progress of our country... Anyways, you must me wondering that this article itself has been written in English... so why against this language?... well, i'm not against this language... i dont say that please stop learning this language cause its ruining our country... I only want to convey that it should not have been made the official language of our country otherwise anyone is free to learn any language they wish to!!!
