Re: Lie that English education to open world wide opportunity for Indi
Just because I suddenly find sitting idle and nothing to do till the quitting time, let's indulge you -
Oh, my cousin studied in so called English Medium school and cannot still carry on a conversation well enough in English. Even worse off than I and I studied in Bengali medium till 10+2.
And many people even said they have seen many students from EMS who cant write or speak English with out many errors.
The logic of the above argument boggles my mind!
The English language helps one to get jobs in industries, but it is never the sole requirement or qualification for jobs. First off, you need have industries and substantial presence of MNCs in one's country to let English be helpful for getting jobs - which India has but Zimbabwe doesn't.
So you admit knowing English not necessary if not mandatory. Then why so many unemployed in US? US is still developed and industrial country.
So what finally stands? To be modern having industry is more necessary than having EMS. That's why ROK has not EMS but developed, but Zim has EMS but no industry.
So in conclusion we Indians, to improve our country, we need to fight more against corruption etc, not emphasizing on EMS.
Having EMS or not does not matter what matters is corruption free country. So again importance of eMS is grossly overrated.
How much presence MNCs have in Vietnam. More important how many languages Vietnam has? The single language of Vietnam makes it more easy for it to get prevalent in domestic industries and making learning English less relevant. Now, if an Indian co. goes to open a firm in Vietnam which of the people will get the cushy jobs in that Vietnam branch - isn't that people who are well versed in English? Even in India, the medium being English in India, it helps the lads from South or North-East get jobs in Mumbai or in Delhi, as well lads from North to get job in Bangalore or Chennai.
Believe me India is not only the country that harbors diversity.

Then having MNC is most important to develop as per your logic. But India having despite so many MNC's still in poorer condition than Vietnam which has little MNCs. How many are going to work in Vietnam branch out of 121 crore? That we send our entire generation to EMS only to destroy our culture?
Hindi should be India's National language. Btw do you know in Nederland whose 75% of total GDP comes from service sector, home of many MNC company base, to them knowing English is more important than us, even Dutchs send their kids to Dutch medium school and later these kids despite studying in Dutch easily communicate with foreigners.
That is one of the most BS argument I have ever read against EMS. Use your brain sometimes, will you? You arguments reminds me of Santa, where he says how smart those Londoners are as even their kids speak English!
In India knowledge of English is required for a good job, because it is the sole language that binds the corporate India and even the Govt. of India. Frankly, if all the Govt. codes and rules are being started to be written in Hindi, it would be simply illegible by anybody but a Pundit, if not impossible. The language being harder to learn being of foreign roots, but essential for business, becomes a qualification in India automatically. Whereas in America, Canada or Australia - it is their mother tongue. It is Not a qualification, but not knowing that would disqualify you automatically from most of the jobs, except the lowest of menial jobs.
Then will not Americans with better fluency on English have upper hand over Indians? As most books are written in English and and indians have to gain knowledge on English as Qualification mean while Americans gain knowledge on English by their birth, so naturally Americans would have upper hand over Indian. We are emphasizing too much on "
having qualification on English". And EMS supporters also say knowing English will give opportunity
world wide, which is false from US's example.
If you support EMS because of India's very much english oriented system then I support you, but your logic that knowing english would give upper hand is stupid.
No, knowing solely English will not work in Brazil unless one is at a relatively higher post. But, you being an Indian will not survive at all if you neither knew English nor Portuguese. With English you would at least be able to find a little help, as every nation that has a decent tourism Industry has a pool of workforce with English knowledge. Same with any other country. You cannot survive with knowledge of Hindi or any other vernacular language of India in most of the countries, where as you would certainly survive for a while with English unless you want to go deep interior of the country.
Go settle there, unless you are tourist they will not continue speaking English, I asked one German lady about this, she said foreigners in Germany cant expect Germans to speak English 24 hours to them. So you realize in case of Brazil you need to know Portuguese more than English, and what little english you need to know for this EMS is not necessary. If Brazilians can have basic conversation in English with out studying in EMS then we Indians too can have communication with out going to EMS. Understand?
The problem is the word 'Average Indian'. Do you think, if a parent can afford, he/she would not send his/her kid(s) to EMS to be a better than an average Indian? More familiarity with a language automatically makes a person more at ease with the language and it is imperative that a person know good English to be able to interact in their workplaces, which includes people from all strata and sphere and parts of India.
I know many parents who despite having ability to afford did not send their kids to EMS, and those kids are lot brighter, mean while I saw many parents who sent their kids to EMS later to regret it would be better if they had not sent them to EMS, Specially parents of those kids who with science subjects. I know 1 simple computer technician, he went to EMS, now owes a small shop.
Further, English Medium schooling is not a panacea to ignorance or poor teachers. It is the curricula and the teachers which are the most important factors in a proper education, much more than the medium. However, the medium being English automatically helps a student to reach a few notches up than his/her competition of future workplace. Also, the availability of study material in English is simply vast which not a single other language can compete with either quantitatively or qualitatively. And the addition of Internet has simply made that reach further.
Do only Indians need to read those english books? Hey Russians also read those books while learning as 2nd language, and they are better in tech than us(despite studying in Russian),
your post actually indicates that all Indian students who study in Indian languages are just sadhu babas, dont know computer, dont use of phone etc. Is not it? Mean while all EMS students are smarter than smartest. Why dont we simply replace our mother tongue with English?
The joke is on you, as no longer most of the educated Indians who are good in English also, holds any hang-up of Britishers or English people. Indians have successfully Indianised English, with a different accent and a hefty splattering of native words. Only, people with inferiority complex harps on 'English ass licking'!
To conclude, if your above post were not for trolling, but a serious one - I would have to urge you to learn to use YOUR brain.
Real victory only comes when you make enemy consider what is your own as their own.
When Arabs were newly Muslims then Pagan Turkish tribes were hardcore anti-Muslim, but Arabs made Tuks consider Islam Turk's own and then it was Turks, who were once hard core anti-Muslim, later carried victory flag of Islam.
Find out there is German English too(with heavy Germanized pronounce) but Germans dont lick English unnecessarily. They dont feel shame to speak German.
Germans only knew English because they need it, and Indians knew English because Indians love it.
Why we cant make world accept our language as their own like the way British did?
