Sheer disaster. The effects of such decisions will appear in 20 years time.
I am disappointed with BJP.
Defeatists are arguing that English is already too deeply encroached to make any change in course. Similar arguments were also made for the continuation of the colonial rule.

I was hopeful of some changes initiated by the BJP in the NEP 2020. But unfortunately, BJP is proving itself to be a party with no commitment, no long term vision, and no awareness of the civilizational threats to India. It is another opportunistic element in a defeated nation.
When the British inflicted famines on India and created their infamous concentration camps of mass deaths (supposedly for improving the health and nutrition of the Indians), many desperate Indians emigrated as indentured labour, signing agreements of bondage on their own will.

In other words, “the Indians were asking for it”. The British prided themselves as reluctant administrators who were drawn to ruling the country after Indians begged them for it.
People who make these arguments should compare with other multi lingual societies with free movement, like Europe. Or for that matter, even tinier regions like Switzerland. What do they do?
I have debated all these points hundreds of times on Twitter, but there is no point.

Many Indian languages are gigantic in terms of the number of their speakers or the size of the economies which run on top of them.
The Anglophone elite slice of the Indian economy is tiny, but appropriates almost all the taxes collected from India.
What is this? Colonialism.

There is no other reason but deep colonialism that never went away which is the reason why India remains under the subjugation of the English caste (not my word, another person from the Anglophone elite coined the phrase). I disown my membership from this caste. Screw this caste.
