I hope ppl here understand how the brits wanted us to think that learning english shud equate to learning the great Greek and Latin for Indians and discredit the local dialect!!! | ||

an excerpt....look at the arrogance of his tone...and sadly we shamelessly want to tread the same path of slavery: "The first instance to which I refer, is the great revival of letters among the Western nations at the close of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century. At that time almost every thing that was worth reading was contained in the writings of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Had our ancestors acted as the Committee of Public Instruction has hitherto acted; had they neglected the language of Cicero and Tacitus; had they confined their attention to the old dialects of our own island; had they printed nothing and taught nothing at the universities but Chronicles in Anglo-Saxon, and Romances in Norman-French, would England have been what she now is? What the Greek and Latin were to the contemporaries of More and Ascham [note: English humanists of the 16th century] our tongue is to the people of India. The literature of England is now more valuable than that of classical antiquity. I doubt whether the Sanscrit literature be as valuable as that of our Saxon and Norman progenitors. In some departments,-in History, for example, I am certain that it is much less so" | ||

The question is that don't we want to....when u erase the language of a civilization,u just don't arise merely a language but the umbilical chord between the civilization and its people... This is exactly how Lord Macaulay envisioned India to be..I assume u were aware of his speech in the house of commons... http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1833macaulay-india.html | ||

Could be number of reasons.. Bengali and Telugu were neck and neck.. the influx from across the border could have increased the Bengali number.. Since AP is more progressive than WB.. birthrate of AP could have been less.. Since Telugu people convert easily.. the Telugu people in other states might have stated themselves as non-Telugu.. | ||

then what is the point for any struggle for independence??? If you look at the stats,we were eating on an average eating the same under british than we are now...the only thing that increased after the brits was that India became a more meat consuming country during the brit regime... Langauge is an identity....an identity that needs to be preserved at ny cost...U raise are very relevant yet oft overlooked issue, getting to learn english for call center jobs.....this is what is typically called slave contentment....Do I need english to innovate anything?? Hell NO....the post industrial revolution saw more patents from Germany and France than all UK and US together...and same with all the major advances in science.....95% of german research is still published in german first... They didnt embrace english as we did... Language like culture is an identity..infact historians often said this: Kill the language first to kill the culture | ||

Bollywood develops a taste for English 'I can talk English. I can walk English. I can laugh English. Because English is a very phunny language,' rattles off a memorable Amitabh Bachchan in Prakash Mehra's incessantly droll, Namak Halal. Adopting Big B's 'Can do anything English' philosophy, Bollywood's shown a noticeable increase in its production of English titles for Hindi movies in recent times. A lot of them like No Entry, Bluffmaster, My Name is Khan, 3 Idiots, All the Best, Wanted, Welcome, Rock On!!, Race and Wake Up Sid weren't not just widely-accepted but did great business too. Nothing 'phunny' about that, right? On the other hand, there've been quite a few unfortunate ones, namely -- Risk, No Smoking, The Stoneman Murders, Out of Control, Fight Club-Members Only, Do Knot Disturb, Luck By Chance, Kidnap, Roadside Romeo and Striker, which crashed at the box office. Nevertheless, the trend is here to stay. On that note, here's a look at some of the significant non-Hindi movie titles to come out of Bollywood in the upcoming months. Housefull After the success of Heyy Babyy, witty television host/anchor turned director Sajid Khan is back making another Akshay Kumar-led farce, Housefull. Getting into the trouble-inviting skin of Aarush yet again, the Khiladi plays hubby to his three hot, high-maintenance wives -- Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan under one common roof leading to an inevitable comedy of errors. (Read Akki being slapped by a monkey, one of the heroines falling into a trash can, to name a few.) Set in London, the star-studded fare also features Ritesh Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal. | ||

Thats because .. when you live in unnatural habitats than yours, you try to go back to your roots. Cultural invasion is a reality. You cannot deny it, unless you have a logic. I can show you 1000 ways how .. Indian culture is fast eroding .. and lastly, no body is a minnow .. especially .. the world conquering Romans and the Persians .. no way .. but Hindutva has a strong root is a fact and only that saved us from the onslaught all through the millenia even though there was no conscious effort, but times changed .. materialism is rampant .. and you cannot sit now and be the same way you were 100 years ago ..

he he they are minnows compared to sanathana dharma. Brother, we must realize that sanathana dharma is not a hypothesis or theory or personal perspective of some thing metaphysical.

A new English to suit dialects Rashmee Roshan Lall, TNN, Mar 7, 2008, 12.10am IST LONDON: David Crystal, one of the world's foremost experts and of the English Language, says the way Indian's speak the language may become a key part of new Standard English. Crystal predicted English would eventually become a family of languages, just as Latin did a thousand years ago. Speaking on growth and evolution of English language, he said: "In much the same way as regional dialects developed, as English grows around the world it is immediately adapted to suit the local circumstances. There are older varieties of English such as American, South African, Australian, and emerging varieties like Nigerian, Ghanaian and Singaporean." These dialects are so individual, Crystal cautioned, that other English speakers would need a global Standard English. This is a phenomenon called diaglossia with "the new dialects expressing local attitudes which people feel very strongly about as a way of expressing who they are" and newspapers and textbooks maintaining "international intelligibility". Crystal's lecture was held to launch the campaign for "The English Project", which is planned as the world's first living museum dedicated to the history and evolution of the English language. | ||

Indian English will conquer globe: Expert RASHMEE ROSHAN LALL, TNN, Mar 7, 2008, 12.07am IST LONDON: English will fragment into "global dialects", forcing speakers routinely to learn two varieties of the language — one spoken in their home country and a new kind of Standard English with pronounced Indian characteristics, a leading expert on English has said. The new Standard English, which will be understood globally, would be necessary if the growing ranks of English-speakers around the world are to understand each other, said Professor David Crystal, one of the world's foremost experts and author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. The new Standard English's likely Indian characteristics would signify the end of the primacy of American English. Future users of global Standard English might routinely say "I am thinking it's going to rain" rather than the British "I think it's going to rain", said Crystal. "In language, numbers count. There are more people speaking English in India than in the rest of the native English-speaking world. Even now, if you ring a call centre, often it's an Indian voice you hear at the end of the phone. As the Indian economy grows, so might the influence of Indian English," he explained. Because Indians tend to "use the present continuous where we would use the present simple (with an Indian saying) 'I am thinking, I am feeling, I am seeing' rather than 'I think, I feel, I see'... this way of speaking could easily become sexy and part of global Standard English," said the professor, who has written more than 100 books. | ||

In 3 yrs, English rises to No. 2 medium Rema Nagarajan, TNN, Dec 5, 2009, 05.03am IST While the Marathi manoos and various others fight over the supremacy of languages, English has quietly marched on and become the second largest medium in India's primary schools, after Hindi. In 2006, English as a medium of instruction was fourth -- behind Hindi, Bengali and Marathi in that order -- but by 2007 it had climbed to second place and grew even further in 2008, beginning to eat into the Hindi numbers too (see detailed report in the latest edition of TOI-Crest). Regional language medium schools have witnessed steady erosion in their share over the years, and in some cases even in the absolute numbers, as parents seem to have decided that English is the passport to a bright future for their children. Data collected by the National University for Education Planning and Administration (NUEPA) as a part of DISE, the monitoring system developed for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan programme, shows that the number of those opting for English medium from class I-VIII has grown by 150% between 2003 and 2008, while the number of students opting for Hindi grew by just 32%. The count for 2008 is more robust than in previous years, says NUEPA. Of the total number of students surveyed by DISE, about 18.8 crore, data on the medium of instruction was available for over 92%. "The quality of data and its collection has vastly improved. However, the data pertains only to recognized schools. In most states, there are thousands of unrecognized schools, most of which are English-medium schools. Hence, the number of those studying in English-medium schools could actually be even higher," says Prof Arun Mehta of NUEPA. The states with the highest number of students in English-medium schools have remained unchanged from 2004 till 2008 -- Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. In the two top states, almost a fifth of all enrolled students are studying in English-medium schools. The top three are followed by Jammu & Kashmir, Karnataka and Kerala in that order. Madhya Pradesh is the lone Hindi-speaking state in the list of the top 10 states in terms of enrolment in English medium. The highest jump in the number of English-medium students between 2004 and 2008 was in Maharashtra, about 11 lakh, followed by Andhra Pradesh (9.7 lakh), Tamil Nadu (9.6 lakh), Delhi (5.5 lakh) and Jammu and Kashmir about 5 lakh. Earlier, in 2006, most of the growth in English was in the southern states, barring Punjab and Gujarat, which also showed a jump in numbers. However, by 2008, many of the northern states too have joined the rush for English schooling. For instance, Haryana has recorded the highest growth, with the number of children in English-medium schools going up more than seven times between 2004 and 2008, from over 20,000 to 1.6 lakh. Similarly, in Rajasthan, students opting for English schooling increased more than three times, from over 60,000 in 2004 to nearly 2.2 lakh by 2008. The growth between 2007 and 2008 alone was 130%. Again, in Madhya Pradesh, the number of students opting for English schooling almost trebled from 1.6 lakh to 4.8 lakh. In Delhi, well over a third (37%) of all enrolled children are in English-medium schools while the proportion of those in Hindi medium has fallen from 76% to 61% between 2004 and 2008. As before, Punjab and Gujarat show substantial growth in English schooling with the number doubling in Punjab and going up more than three times in Gujarat. | ||

Indiaspeak: English is our 2nd language TNN, Mar 14, 2010, 12.20am IST More Indians speak English than any other language, with the sole exception of Hindi. What's more, English speakers in India outnumber those in all of western Europe, not counting the United Kingdom. And Indian English-speakers are more than twice the UK's population. These facts emerge from recently released census 2001 data on bilingualism and trilingualism in India. Indians' linguistic prowess stood revealed with as many as 255 million speaking at least two languages and 87.5 million speaking three or more. In other words, about a quarter of the population speaks more than one language. English was the primary language for barely 2.3 lakh Indians at the time of the census, more than 86 million listed it as their second language and another 39 million as their third language. This puts the number of English speakers in India at the time to more than 125 million. The only language that had more speakers was Hindi with 551.4 million. This includes 422 million, who list it as the primary language, 98.2 million for whom it was a second language and 31.2 million who listed it as their third. The rise of English puts Bengali, once India's second largest language in terms of primary speakers, in distant third place. Those who spoke Bengali as their first, second or third language add up to 91.1 million, far behind English. Telugu with 85 million speakers in all and Marathi with 84.2 million retain their position behind Bengali as does Tamil with 66.7 million and Urdu with 59 million. Gujarati now falls behind Kannada though it has a sizeable number of primary speakers — 6.1 million — compared to Kannada's 37.9 million. Karnataka's linguistic diversity means that many list other languages as their first and Kannada as a second language. This adds 11.5 million to the ranks of Kannada speakers and another 1.4 million use it as a third language. In total, Kannada had 50.8 million speakers in 2001 compared to Gujarati's 50.3 million. Oriya overtakes Malayalam thanks to the 3.3 million people who listed it as their second language and 3.2 lakh who said it was their third language. The total number of Oriya speakers was 36.6 million against 33.8 million who spoke Malayalam. Punjabi, with 31.4 million speakers, and Assamese with 18.9 million are among India's most spoken languages. Unfortunately, the census asked people to list a maximum of three languages, so it is not known how many speak more languages. The data covers only those over five because the census assumed that younger children would only know their mother tongue. As expected, urban Indians are more likely to be multi-lingual but as many as 136.7 million rural Indians speak at least two languages. |
