Say "No" to English Medium Education
Say "No" to Computer Usage
It wont be wrong to term it as the Return of the Swadeshi Movement by the Mulayams' & the Amars' of the changing India. This directly means the spread of Hindi & the Regional Languages as the Mode of Education (which is not at all wrong) & moving back to the work culture of those times when there were no Computers around.
Seemingly, it gave me goosebumps even when this thought came in my mind. This Era of Regional, Caste & Populist based Politics has even made us see a day like this. There are promises being made on Reservations in Private Sector, Rice being sold @ Rs 2/kg, No Income Tax on the Income less than Rs 3 Lakh, Change in the Master Plans of the Urban Indian Cities to accommodate & regularize more slums to name a few. But where will all of this lead the India of the 21st Century??...
We have 70% of the Population earning less than Rs 20/day in this era of Globalisation.
We have more than 35% of the Population cant read & write in any language.
We have a 1.2 Billion Population which is fighting recession which has actually shrinked the developed economies like USA, Japan & EU.
Will the promises made above help us to fight any of the above problems??...
We need more & more people to read & write in English, be Computer Literate to get India to the get back on the growth trajectory. So its up to us, the people on India to take the right call with regard to what kind of future we want to live in.
So this time, Go Out & Vote Right so that there is no looking back in the next 5 years.
English is a universal language and knowing it can only help in one's development as an individual and contribute in a constructive way to the nation. Regional Laguages & Hindi are not Taboo but i also feel the need to know them to be near to our culture & heritage. The Crux is that there has to be an equilibrium of both to have a overall development.
We need Swadeshi but not with the flavors of the Pardesi in the current time of Globalization & Liberalization.
