Lol. #EnglishIndians live in such bubbles with no idea how the world works.
1. Students across Europe do medical studies in their own language.
2. They can have reading level for English.
3. Most people don’t move. When they do they can acquire language skills as needed

Oops, noticed this too late.
Where is the evidence of this "advantage"? That some South Koreans or Japanese are learning English? Did you check how many times their GDP/capita is versus India?
You make up a mythical advantage while India is kept poor due to #EnglishApartheid.

This is the biggest fraudulent narrative Congress perpetuated. No, @tehseenp India did not become an "IT power" because of #EnglishAdvantage. Rather, it lags other countries in GDP/capita because of #EnlgishLiability.
English-liability stops 90% of Indians from advancing.

Because successive govts kept up #EnglishApartheid in India.
This has to be dismantled to provide equal opportunity to all in their language rather than continuing a discriminatory system.
No major country has developed without mother-tongue education.

यह सोचते हैं कि १५० देशों का समविधान अंग्रेज़ी में लिखा है। 😆 इतनी अज्ञानता हमारे लोगों में कहाँ से आई?
China invested masively in Chinese medium educarion so masses can access technology. As a result it is a world leader in Artificial Intelligence today.
India is “rapidly speaking English” to get call center jobs. 🙄 #EnglishAdvantage

@narendramodi @myogiadityanath @DrRPNishank She is not an idiot. There is a massive investment in English propaganda by the US and UK targeting India. This is the best way to ensure India remains an intellectual coolie for them. From Ford Foundation to British Council to Church, all push English.
@narendramodi @myogiadityanath @DrRPNishank But we can't just blame foreign powers. That propaganda targeted China also and they've thrown it off like a wet rag. They are strategically clear about promoting Chinese as an international language. Indian decisions makers are decades behind, English is yesterday's story.
So, now TikTok by Chinese company ByteDance is the new Social Media viral app, with a valuation in the billions of $s.
How many Indian tech companies have launched a popular global product?

A list of Chinese technology unicorns in the over $10 billion range. Remember this is TECHNOLOGY. Remember all of Chinese education is in Chinese medium.

Of the top 20 market cap leaders in Internet/Technology today, USA has 11 and China has 9. India has ZERO. But India is a "technology leader" due to English because we got some BPO jobs. 😏 A slave civilization aims low, is proud of "English Advantage."

"For us in India, proficiency in English perhaps ranks ahead of our aptitude for other subjects. India’s economic success over the past three decades is primarily due to our professionals’ ability to work comfortably in English-language environments."
How #shameful is this !

Despite the constant buzzing about the #EnglishAdvantage for India's economy, where is the hard data to prove that this is an advantage? Nothing.
India's neglect of its own languages, especially in technical and scientific fields, has been a complete disaster for its economy.

The English educated elite in India
1) Speak crap English.
2) Do not speak their own languages particularly well.
3) Have not produced any intellectual property for India worth noting.
India trails behind China in every measurable index on intellectual/cultural creativity.
