future of English in India 1 min speach
Answers
India is a vast country inhabited by people speaking different languages. Languages has, therefore, been a very controversial issue right since India became free. Different political leaders and educationists have been expressing different opinions on the subject. Even today the issue remains as unresolved as it was half a century ago.
English was introduced in our schools and colleges by the Britishers. It gradually took firm roots in the soil of our hand. India is a vast country. English played an important role in the freedom struggle. The contribution of English in this respect cannot be undermined.
It was believed that after the departure of the English from India, English would also be discarded. But, in reality, this language has continued to occupy an important place in the country. It was laid down by our Constituent Assembly that Hindi, our national language, would replace English within 15 years. All felt that the common language of the country must be some Indian language. But circumstances took such a shape that English had to be recognized as the second official language of the country.
India is trying to become a powerful nation in all spheres. The economic, social and political life of the nation is to be changed. It is an uphill task. Progress is possible only if the people of India freely interact with their counterparts in other developed countries of the world. The world is becoming smaller day by day. People in other countries are making rapid progress in numerous fields of knowledge. English is our life-line of contact with the outside world. It is an important bridge for the traffic of thought between the East and the West. English continues to be an important language used by computers and commercial establishments in major parts of the world. In India too it continues to be a mark of education.
