Answer:
India is a very vast country or we should say a subcontinent. Her states are equal to or larger than many countries of European continent. Different languages are spoken in different states like Kashmiri, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Bihari, Asami, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telagu, Kenner, Malayalam etc.
Background of English Language in India:
English came to India with British people. England ruled over India for about two hundred years. Lord Macaulay established the new education system in India with the view to prepare people who by cast, creed and colour were Indians but by Language, thinking, manners were like British people. British government wanted to rule over India for a long period, so they needed officers and workers in different areas like Railway, Courts, police, military, education, science and Technology etc. These English speaking Indian people worked according to British policies. English education was imparted in schools, colleges, universities, professional courses etc. Thus English became the medium of instruction and education in all stages.
Importance of English:
In those days Education was limited to a small circle of upper and middle-class people who leapt and rose to power and position due to the benefits of the English education. Knowledge of English language was regarded as the token of superiority, modernity, civilized and prestige. Education in English medium proved to be a blessing for India and Indian people in many ways. Due to knowledge of English language people can read many great books written by great thinkers of the world. They were influenced by the dignified and elevated thoughts of these great writers. People knew about the movements and activities took place in the various corners of the world to get liberty. It ultimately led to the stirring of national spirit in the educated people and those people inspired and motivated the common people. English education proved to be very helpful in national integration, binding the whole country- from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Gujarat to Assam in one string. After the rule of great emperors like Akbar and Ashoka India again integrated and emerged as one country in real sense due to English education.
The freedom fighter leaders were able to make correspondence with all the people of India through English language. Gandhi ji, Nehru ji, Vallabh Bhai Patel and other national leaders had good knowledge of English. Actually in other words we can say that good knowledge of English made them National leaders. We can say that English language had made India united and integrated. Due to national unity and integrity the great imperial power of England was forced to leave India giving liberty to India and Indian people. We can also say that we used the great weapon of England herself (English Language) to drive British Government out of India.
English in International Relationship:
Today no country can retain existence without the cooperation of other countries .Today the leaders of different counties meet and exchange their thoughts on various Platforms like UN, SAARC. The representatives of different countries communicate in English on these platforms. India cannot be isolated from the rest of the world if she want to develop herself as a great power of the world. English is one and only one medium of the communication on international level
Conclusion:
After independence many times dialogues and debates start among peoples. Some are deadly against English with their logic that every country has its own language. So the use of English should be completely abolished from the study .The person who has views in favor of English may argue that English should not be forced upon all students. Students are free to take admission in Hindi medium or in vernacular language .Our constitution also accepted three language formula .The first language is the mother tongue the second language is the national language i.e. Hindi and the third is library language i.e. English. So English cannot be abolished from India .A student who want to get further study in abroad must have sound knowledge of English. English is the language of our constitution itself, the supreme-court, the High-courts and advanced offices. Countries like Japan and China also give due importance to English in their countries
