Should English be a medium of learning in India…..??


English is portrayed all over the world, to us it is a foreign language but still here, too it reigns the throne of human medium of communication. India has to its pride so many native languages characteristic of each of the cultural boundaries. In many of the states, the rural primary learning starts in mother tongue but there is a sudden leap of the medium from native language to English either due to lack of facilities in the rural area or for fancy. This way most of the students neither learn the native language thoroughly nor they gains mastery over alien language. Once the language itself becomes a barrier, the subsequent technical learning also takes a set back and technical knowledge becomes a half-baked thing. Ultimately, the essence of education is lost. As a solution to this let the standard of learning in native languages be enhanced and promoted through proper channel
