Argument: “English is a global need. India will develop with English-medium education.”
Me: False. Give examples of countries developing better than India without English.
Response: “But India has so many languages.”
Lol how does that prove English-medium is a “global need”?

The very same US corporations interview and hire in Chinese and Japanese and Hebrew when doing business in other countries.
MNCs adapt. The English slavery is with the Indian mind. Deliberately cultivated through policy.

Yes, English advocacy in India is part of religious zealotry, not data.
But it is also true that the policies of the Indian State have made English an essential need in India. This is why parents are choosing it.
But it’s due to State policy. NOT global necessity.

That’s exactly why I called my book “The English Medium Myth.”
We have been conned into the myth of English supremacy. By vested interests.

Yes, it is a good skill to know English as a language. As long as we don’t force it as a medium or make it a requirement and barrier within India anywhere.
Learn English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese. All good.
Also teach English for communication, not “Pilgrim’s Progress.”
