And who the hell saying here to stop English language education?
Then what is the problem that caused you to start the thread?
So, what is the beef all about?
And who says anyone is obsessed in any way for any language?
And could you reconcile with this with your above quote?
Why Indians are so much obsessed with English Language? We should throw this language and English medium education in garbage and replace it with Hindustani in Roman script. India's National language should be Hindustani, all schools should stop teaching English and replace it with Hindustani,
That was because English was not omitted in all India level, WB is part of India, if we need to change whole India needs to change not only WB. So dreaming of changing system only in WB and not in other part India is naive. It is simple.
If the whole of India did not change, then who asked WB to act the hero and change to the vernacular and cause misery to the multitudes in that State?
And why should they change something that is going on so well, just because of cosmetic nationalism?
Andhra has sent so many to the US for education and who have taken jobs there. They have relieved AP from the pressure of giving jobs. So., why should they agree to the idea of cosmetic nationalism?
And do you really think South India will take to Hindustani, as you advocate, with warm embrace?
Never forget the anti Hindi agitation that brought the nation to a halt!
I am not calling hindi to be national language, please read my comments carefully before you say.
I am saying Hindustani in Roman script not Hindi in Devnagri script, Hindustani was official language of INA Government.
If Hindustani is made national language then all who knows this well will get jobs through out India, just like during British era those who knew English good got jobs through out India.
Are you aware what is the difference between Hindi and Hindustani?
The Army used to use it earlier, but now is on Hindi.
Hindustani is a mixture of Hindi and Urdu.
Do you think that folks of your 'nationalist' bent of mind, who are aiming to form the next Govt, will accept that?
Think again!
You dont know WB politics then for sure. :truestory

It was Hypocrisy, CPM leaders issued that as you said, but sent their children to English medium schools, still you call it Chauvinism? Or Hypocrisy? As a result large un-employment and CPM gangstars recruited those semi-educated dissatisfied youth, when it became too bad then to give them job, "Shilpayan" drama started.
:
So, the ultra Bengalis were hypocrites!
So, what makes you feel that history will not repeat itself?
Their children will go abroad and earn huge sums, while the others slog the skin off their bottom?
That is Kejriwal logic!
Really? You know Bihari and UP immigrants are making Bengalis in WB minority? You know Bengalis are minority in Kolkata, Siliguri? How many shops now use Bengali language written sign boards?
We will be Indian not by eliminating our different language, just following unity in diversity, and that is when you settle in different area learn their language similarly when people from those area will settle in your state they should adopt local language.
The problem is Hindiwalas come and settle in WB but dont adopt Bengali culture atleast dont speak Bengali and all Indianistic Bengalis dont care about this.
If language jingoism is the problem, then this problem comes from Hindiwalas, not Bengalis or Tamil, Hindiwalas through out country try to force Hindi but Tamils only in Tamilnadu.
If Hindiwalas are coming to Calcutta and Siliguri and having Hindi boards, then why are you carping?
I thought you wanted the whole of India to chuck English out and have Hindoostani.
You want to eat your cake and have it too?
I kinow many Hindi speaking chaps, who speak, eat and live like Bengalis.
Dinesh Trivedi, Dalmia, Ahluwalia of the BJP and there are so many of them.
So, don't at one time be ultra nationalist and then switch to narrow regional chauvinism!
