For a long time, #English was the link language, but self-styled nationalists, especially from the ruling #BJP, felt this was a betrayal of "Indian" values.
So they kept pushing for the use of #Hindi as the #NationalLanguage.

But Hindi is not even spoken by a majority (>50%) of Indians. It is merely spoken by the most Indians.
So people of other ethnicities worry that under Hindi domination, their languages would disappear.
A three-language formula was suggested as far back as the 1960s.

Yes, I had higher salary offers from schools in bigger towns, but for me, the 169 Rs I was offered at my school village meant everything.
I was hungry for teaching the students from my town who needed a good teacher the most.

I taught at my school for 39 years and only retired because I’d hit my ‘retirement age’– 60; what a ridiculous concept!
Afterwards, I expected to spend years drinking sugary tea and wasting my time on the charpoy!
