A Challenge To All Academicians
A challenge to all academicians in India who support English education
A challenge to all academicians in India who support English education in India. This article is also a challenge to all professionals working in India and outside, who are beneficiaries of English education in the secondary level. If you think deeply, you will understand the gravity of this issue.
I have been thinking to write about this issue for some time, but due to lack of time, could not. This article is a direct challenge to all those who support English education in India. I am sorry to say that I am also a part of this system, which was against my will, so also millions of other boys and girls in India. I am not against learning or speaking English, it is a must for surviving in the present day world. My point is that basic education and technical education must be in native language, like Hindi, Tamil, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu etc. As long as we follow the present pattern of technical and higher education in English(foreign) language, we will never produce super genius scientists, engineers and other professionals, rather our students will end up working for American and European companies enhancing their economy in the long run for few dollars. This is what is happening in India now. If we study the history of India (Bharat), we find that we had world famous thinkers and scientists in the past, hundreds of years back. From Aryabhatta to Chanakya, from Shushrutha to Ramanujan, From Charaka to Bharadwaj muni, from Lord Budha to Lord Mahavira we had super genius people who were real engineers, physicians and political and religious thinkers who shaped humanity. There are thousands of such examples, if you study history of pre-British India.
India even after being attacked for thousands of years by Mughals , had a native educational system which was incomparable with anything anywhere in the world. We had more than 1200 universities and most famous were Nalanda and Taxila(Now

    Socio-Cultural Factors Affecting the Quality of English Language Learners.

    The English language is said to be the global lingua franca that is used by several countries so as to communicate with other countries. That is why we need to be proficient in speaking it. One of the few countries which made English as their official second language is the Philippines. The need for knowing the English language increases because of globalization and our connections, relations and transactions with other countries. Because of this great need, schools from all over the world require the study of the English language. Students even tend to study English outside of their country so as to suffice their need of the language.…

Santha Rau speaks about the happy, sad, and embarrassing moments she had in school. She also speaks about how earning a “valid” education, in western terms, is difficult to achieve in India. When someone is in an environment where it is typical to hear insensitive and irresponsible language, s/he will likely become insensitive and irresponsible.…

    American Education vs. Indian Education

    Each person has his or her own opinion about which educational system is preferable, an Indian education or an American education. Each of these education systems both American as well Indian has its own strengths and weaknesses. Overall, one cannot claim which is more preferable, but still the debate is open for comments. But to speak the truth, the education system responsible for redefining a human being into some talented persona is a good education system. Remarkably, both the American education system as well as Indian education system has managed to do that not just one time, but uncountable times. We have fine examples of great personalities including scientists, journalists, doctors, engineers, and many such professionals who have benefitted by their education system, either American or Indian. So let's leave it for the rest of the world to decide which one is better and preferable?…

    Importance of English in India

    It is a fact that English is spoken and understood all over the globe. It is the national language of Great Britain,the United States, Canada,Newzealand,Australia. It is used in former British colonies all over Asia and Africa.It has been and is serving as our window on the world.If we decide to do without it, our contacts with all these countries will be stopped by the limitations imposed on us by the language in which we chose to deal with them. We shall thus be planning restrictions on overselves without gaining any corresponding advantage. Even inside the country, we can harldy do without English so long as Hindi does not become an effective instrument for administering a big multilingual country like ours. So long as it does not become a universally acceptable medium of interstate communicfation if we decide to do without English ,the loss will be entirely…

    Indian English Literature: Changing Trends and History

    With the arrival of the British in India and the spread of English language through education, was born and since its birth had been blooming and changing with time. Most of Indian English writers are bi-lingual, some equally proficient in English and the mother tongue, and some more in one than in the other. The background and the situations are usually Indian but the characters may often be drawn from bilingual milieus. Expressing the heartbeats of one culture in the language of another poses its own problems and it is doubtless that there is an inner urge to render in English the rhythms, images, idioms and proverbs of the local speech. Thus one of the most outstanding and interesting characteristics of Indian writing in English is that the background is Indian and the language though foreign has adopted itself to the needs of the Indians. Today Indian English as well as Indian writing in English has got its own identity and charm.…

    Importance of English in Pakistan

    The education all over the world is being mainly conducted in the English language and in the countries like USA and UK which are considered to be one of the most developed countries of the world also have English as the official language so if Pakistan has the intention of walking side by side to such advanced countries they will have to enhance their expertise in the English language so that they can best utilize this opportunity.

    India Education System

    India is a promised land of scholars and saints. There has been no dearth of knowledge in India since time immemorial. Indian civilization has been blessed with priceless knowledge of Vedas and Puranas. Coming all along with these Holy Scriptures, till the modern age of science and technology, India can be found nowhere legging behind. Nevertheless we need not deny the fact that, India still possesses some quarters where a bud of education is still to sprout. As India witnesses tremendous upheavals in Indian economy- a segment ascending, while another suffers heavy descend- Education system is also building similar pandemonium. Every year India produces thousands of brilliant assets from IITs, IISc, IIMs, AIMS, BITS and ISB, who glows in every sphere of modern world. Concurrently, India still owns people in large numbers who are debarred of the basic education. Hence, in spite of its triumph in major areas, Indian Education System is tainted wit a few blemishes.…

    Does education in India need a change in standards?

    Education has been a problem in our country and lack of it has been blamed for all sorts of evil for hundreds of years. Even Rabindranath Tagore wrote lengthy articles about how Indian education system needs to change. Funny thing is that from the colonial times, few things have changed. We have established IITs, IIMs, law schools and other institutions of excellence; students now routinely score 90% marks so that even students with 90+ percentage find it difficult to get into the colleges of their choice; but we do more of the same old stuff.…

    The Challenge to Academics

    The study of knowledge is known as Epistemology, and it is one of the oldest branches of philosophy. Plato spent much of his life trying to establish not only what knowledge is, but also how it can be achieved. Our society is increasingly presenting information as knowledge, especially in educational institutions. Individuals can only gain genuine knowledge from the practice of Plato’s method of dialectic. Plato’s method involves making the distinction between information and knowledge. By examining Plato’s dialectic in The Republic we can begin to define what constitutes ‘real knowing’ and how that differs from the knowledge professed by instructors at educational institutions. Individuals who attend educational institutions where knowledge is viewed as merely applied information cannot gain genuine knowledge because they are too far removed from the dialectic procedures. They cannot act wisely or make knowledgeable decisions because they have become slaves to the information. They do not examine or analyze the information they have been given. They accept the information and just apply it as they are taught, thus preventing them from being a ‘knower’. Plato’s insights into epistemology are of great importance, because understanding the properties and dynamics of knowledge is essential to society seeing the benefits and value of having true knowledge rather than being trained to apply information.…
