My point is to stress the point that every individual 'should' learn the regional/vernacular language. <BR/><BR/>In India it is very difficult to implement what Chinese or Japanese have done because we are so much diversified.Jayakumar Balasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284472611141135192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901843.post-70369006723441657672007-02-13T20:13:00.000+05:302007-02-13T20:13:00.000+05:30I agree that we should definitely learn our own la...I agree that we should definitely learn our own languages - many are far more matured with their own extensive literature and grammar.<BR/><BR/>However, when it comes to engineering and medicine (for example) there is no instituion or technical literature / text book in our own languages. <BR/><BR/>While Japanese, German, French, etc., have just one language thro which all their education is done, don't you think it will be extremely difficult to have such education with so many languages that we have in India?<BR/><BR/>How do we go about that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901843.post-89842158988453516682007-02-05T20:50:00.000+05:302007-02-05T20:50:00.000+05:30Yes.

We used to make them learn Indian languages. We had to impose rules to speak Indian language while at home to inculcate our languages into the kids. <br /><br />When I came back from US, I took up a job in Bangalore. There I met some managers whose kids could not understand or speak any Indian language. When I asked them, they gave the same answer as described your blog. That's unfortunate.<br /><br />I do not discredit English. But, please do not relegate our regional languages to rural India. One has to be proud of one's origins. And our languages contribute to who we are.Sujaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539694685428659940noreply@blogger.com
