during the present lok sabha elections samajwadi party in its manifesto promised to ban english and computer if it comes in power.it haven't surprised me.these local chauvinists thrive on public's ignorance.they know that if the public learns english and start using internet they will come to know where they stand in global arena.it is in their interest to keep people backward,uneducated and most important,isolated.these self declared custodians of heritage and culture send their childs to the most elite english medium schools and thereafter in foreign for higher studies.so they dont have the right to say a word against this language.
english is the most dynamic language.two thirds of the world's correspondence is now written in english.one half of world's newspaper are printed in it.three quarters of the world's broadcasts are delivered in english.
the UN has registerd more than 6,000 languages but half of these languages are spoken by less than 1o,ooo people and if that is not enough 200 languages have fewer than 10 speakers.out of these all,english stands tall and wide.english shoud be made compulsory in every school on earth.native languages can co-exist with english.human mind is developed enough to handle two languages.just imagine the scenario when everybody under sun is connected by one language.anybody from india can go to germany,japan and china without being hit by language barrier.what would be the effect on tourism and trade.after all the ultimate aim of any language is connectivity and expression of thoughts.
