Imagine a child attending a public school in Rajasthan or rural Thanjavur, naturally speaking Rajasthani or Tamil due to their upbringing. Now, picture these children also fluent in English, just like their private school counterparts in the same regions. If this vision resonates with you, then you align with a solution for a united and equitable India.
If, however, you find this vision unrealistic, then you are part of a longstanding problem — a problem that has perpetuated 75 years of educational inaction, leading to profound disparities in educational outcomes. This inaction has not only crippled language education but has systematically blocked upward mobility and access to better opportunities for those unable to afford private schooling. Over the past three centuries, the English language has amassed a vast repository of scientific, technological, and cultural knowledge from diverse languages and cultures worldwide, including India’s own rich linguistic heritage.
In fields such as science, engineering, medicine, business, finance, social sciences, and information technology, English has become the primary global medium for communication. It integrates advancements in research and new ideas from around the world, elevating human society to new heights. Astonishingly, 80% of the world’s academic publications are in English, making it the leading language for the global dissemination of knowledge.
Equipping our people with English language skills to access this wealt.
