With due respects to all, it is extremely ironic and
slightly funny that we are debating on the usage of
English language in India and using English as the
medium for it.
I have no clue where this 1.5 % of population in India
speak English came from but what I can tell you
definitely is that studi

The point Rajenda made was -- all have same mother
tongue. Sure your (or Rajenda's) mother tongue is not
English.
However, second genaration Indians mostly speak
English instead of mother tongue but can we term that
English is their mother tongue ??
Also, as I see from Wiki, 82% sp

Yes, they can. Absolutely! :)
It is just that I remember your suggesting that something was a justified cause
for Assam's asking for sovereignty, No?

If you leave out the Hispanics, you can say it is one language in USA. As we
all know, USA will have to face the issue of two rival languages very soon.
Also USA does not have an official language. The reign of English as the
language is due to the fact that all immigrants had to learn the

Why do you think I have any qualm at all?
I am just statiung the facts for people to acknowledge.
In the ancient India, it was also a situational demand to learn Sanskrit to

India's being a united country.
What do you suggest as a solution? All states should balkanize and use their
regional language as the official language? Fine.
What will be the official language for Assa
IMHO, I VIEW English as an Indian language. This notion that English is a
foreign language does not hold much water. Here are my reasons:
The kind of English spoken/written in India is very much Indian. The accent,
many words and often even the grammar is very much Indian.
It is also the mother
** Hmmm... you dropped the other argument (India
was never such a big united country as it is now).
Good.

So what is your mother tongue Rajen-da? I
thought Assamese, but I may be wrong :)
