Though govt has decided to maintain status quo (Grants only to Indian MoI) officially, it is reliably learnt that a very strong politician has worked out modalities to facilitate English as MoI from next Academic year. This, very closely held secret proposal, was reportedly unvieled during the discussions with a highly placed and respected religious leader. The politician seems to have convinced mining lobby to contribute to English MoI schools so as to compensate for the lack of grants from the govt. The govt in turn may not levy higher taxes on them. Will the agitation and counter agitation peter off once the key men get the wind of this? Rajendra
