English, asked by vinayaksinha44, 8 months ago

Read the passage and answer the questions set below it: (12)

The refinement of usage in countries where English has a bazaar status, are worth a study. On a London bus you will never hear the conductor cry Ticket, Ticket. He approaches the passenger and says Thank you, and on receiving the fare says again Thank You Sir. I find out that one could calculate the number of passengers in a bus by halving the total number of Thanks heard. In any Western country if a receptionist asks Can I help you, it really means, Have you any business here, if so state it. Or it may mean Evidently you have wandered off into a wrong place, go away. A man who wants to pass you always says Excuse me. While he may with all justice burst out, What do you mean by a standing there gaping at the world while you block everybodys passage? Stand aside, man! When you send your card in, the busy mans secretary comes and whispers in your ear, Would you like to wait? Though the tone is one of consultation, you have really no choice in the matter. The thing to do is not to answer the question but say Thanks and look for a comfortable seat in the waiting room, although you feel like saying, No, I would not like to wait . I have other things to do. The time has come for us to consider seriously the question of a Bharat brand of English. So far English has had a comparatively confined existence in our country, chiefly in the halls of learning, justice, or administration. Now the time is ripe for it to come to the dusty street, market-place, and under the banyan tree. English must adopt the complexion of our life and assimilate its idiom. I am not suggesting here a mongrelization of the language. I am not recommending that we should go back to the days when we heard while travelling by train Wer u Goin. The Bharat brand of English will respect the rule of law and maintain the dignity of grammar but will have a Swadeshi stamp about it unmistakable like a Madras handloom check shirt or the Tirupati doll.
