EU is effectively a country in comparison to India. India inter-state migration for work is comparable to EU’s inter-country.
EU is a great model for India to emulate for language policy. India has 1.5 x the population, can easily support 22 official languages. @narendramodi
Check EU website. All languages are equally available. All countries have higher education and technical education in their mother tongues.
India needs to do the same. Central govt must support all 22 languages equally, states Higher Education in MT.

Learning English as a 2nd or 3rd language is fine. Problem happens when it is made into the *medium* and then forced by the government for High Courts, SC, IIT, IIM, AIIMS, CAT etc with NO choice.
Problem happens when a person is passionate about serving in the Indian army, is bright enough to get into IIT but is denied because of #EnglishApartheid by the government.
When you study in your own mother tongue you understand the concepts. Later you can learn other languages to communicate if needed.
