lots of efforts have been made on national level to implement single language formula but because of local language preference, same is not possible. India truely practices unity in diversity.

I support your views. It will be better for our country to build as 'ONE NATION".

No in China most of them speak only their mother tongue but its not the case with India. Here there is mixture of culture and languages. So keeping a single language in the academics will not help the students. Rather first language should be...

National language of any country is not decided by any official seal on any language but by the language which binds the entire country and its not hidden that Hindi is binding 90% of India. I don't care whether it is recognised as a national...

Dear Ajay, That is the beauty of Sanskrit, Everyone can own it in some or the other manner. Though Paali Prakrat Bramhi and Sanskrit are older.

but arunangshu ... sanskrit is derived from koshur ( kashmiri language , the only dialect in the world which travels through the minds and is rarely inked on piece of paper)
Arunangshu Choudhury  |  Argues in support of  " Rediscovering SELF and getting to action mode"  |  2 years ago
 I support your argument here.I believe that if India is to retain its identity and prosper,Basic sanskrit and knowledge of Vedas should be more a part of curriculum.Thanks for the topic and the refferal.

 It will not make any difference
Sivaramakrishnan  |  Argues in support of  "Certainly, it is a need of an hour now......."  |  1 year ago
Certainly not ,because there are different languages spoken in different parts in India.It seems difficult for a people to ge with common language.
Ravindra Sharma  |  Argues in support of  "It will not make any difference"  |  1 year ago
Dear Ashutosh, English can at best be the international language of requirement it can never become a national language.

 The bitter pills for India reprieve.    Part 1.  Full article is available in the links   http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-5I    1. Introduction:  1.1. The inherent perils of Democracy. Individuality in thoughts and unrelenting desire and self centric ambition  to gain superiority over the other and being the basic instincts that differentiate the human race, a political setup that envisages a country be ruled by a government of  the people, by  the People and for the People, is more an utopian myth than a realizable reality. It is too ambitious to wish that India, a very young federal nation inheriting long embedded ethnic variations, diverse cultures, social structures, linguistic differences, and  highly dominating regional beliefs and interests, to become such an utopian democratic nation too soon.  This is one of the major perils of our type of democratic process. Nonetheless, it is only fair for every Indian to aspire to have sober and stable governments at federal level that could take...

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a  Herd  of cows, a  Flock  of chickens, a  School  of fish and a  Gaggle  of geese. However, less widely known is a  Pride  of lions, a  Murder  of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an  Exaltation  of doves and, presumably, because they look so wise, a  Parliament  of owls. Now consider a gathering of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.  And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?  Believe it or not ....... a  Congress ! And, of course, the well known collective noun for a group of owls: PARLIAMENT! PS: Pl read it for fun only and without any political trappings. That's why I have put it in "OTHERS" category of Industry and not "POLITICS".

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...
