Respected teachers and my dear friends,
Good morning to one and all.
We all think. And we all communicate. But how do we do it? We do it through words, not just words but words in a particular language which others understand.
Though it is easy to communicate in our mother tongue; that alone is not enough in today’s world. We need to consider the fact that people speaking different languages mingle with us almost on a daily basis. There are people from other states in India as well as a few people from other countries who have come here to find work or just visit our place. Communicating with all of them requires a common language.
It is here that English language and the knowledge of it becomes an advantage. English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official language in many countries in the world.
Along with that we find people moving out to other countries to work. And English is the most used language for business communication in the world. It is also not surprising that more than 50% of content in the internet is in English.
Moreover, the best books and films in the world are produced in English. Sometimes, popular and best-selling books in other languages are translated into English to reach a world-wide audience. I am sure you might have watched a film in Chinese and understood it because of sub-titles produced in English.
All these facts prove the importance of English language. It gives us access to business communication, the world of knowledge and also the world of entertainment.
As a concluding thought, let us consider our opportunities for higher education. It is an established fact that English is the language that gives us access to Science; especially the fields of Engineering, Medicine, and Information Technology. Or think about a Post Graduate in Management and the distinct advantage he or she enjoys if able to communicate well in English! Thus English is the language that is used in higher studies and research.
Finally, let me ask you a question? Would each one of you like to have a job—not just a job but a good career ahead? If the answer is yes, why not make yourselves employable at the highest and the best spheres of work by mastering the English language?
Thank you.
British brought with them their language English to India and its global Nature has made it the lingua franca of India- a country with diverse regional Languages.
English is a language which is acceptable all over India be it al Kannada, Malayali, Punjabi, Gujrati, Marathi, Bengali because all speak English along with their own mother tongue.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Not only in India, but also when you go abroad this is a language most commonly used.
In the world of globalization, countries like China, Japan and Russia, who have passionately sustained and promoted their own language, have today accepted the importance of English language.
No country as a matter of fact shall be able to survive without the knowledge of English today.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
In India, English has become a medium of instruction in schools and colleges alike. For higher education and technical education such as (medicine, engineering the literature available in English Language is not to be found in any other language.
Today, even the middle class youth is vying for education in foreign universities and proficiency in English is important for them. Not only is this, for a good placement in the private sector, multinationals and also Government jobs, knowledge of English a must.
It would not be an exaggeration to state that proficiency in English is a reflection of the educated class and the finest literature of the world is to be found in this language. Ruskin Bond has rightly said that Books are the keys to the ‘Kings’ Treasuries’ and without the Knowledge of English it is not possible to have an access to this.
Thus, this legacy of the British has held India in good stead and has given it an edge over its neighboring countries. Today, the Indians are the most sought after technocrats in the West. The B P O’s have made India’s economy boom and many countries are outsourcing business to India mainly because of Indians being proficient in the use of English.
