Hi all my countrymen in India!The more I have pondered over this googly of educated unemployed phenomenon across our nation the more convinced I get that its is basically one of unemployability rather than dearth of job opportunities.One of the most serious errors of judgment we made years ago was reducing English to being just one of the three languages--Mother tongue,Hindi and English--that one needs to learn for becoming a Matriculate.Back in 1947 most Indians were,not without reason, infuriated with everything even remotely associated with the "British colonizer"--and English,the baby,got thrown out along with the bath water!

 What we did not take into account was its unbounded potential for assimilating lexical expressions from any and every language and dialect spoken on the planet and its ability to popularize its basic meaning through innumerable books and publications."Brinkmanship","smog" etc are classic examples of this synergy present in English.

A Matriculate that has familiarized himself or herself with the English language solely through a small text book loses the opportunity of understanding its versatility and high utility in a job interview.Once he becomes a graduate he looks out for a convenient position and its then that he realizes how grossly weak he happens to be in using this language and how under-equipped he is in speaking it with proper etiquette and culture familiarity.By then unfortunately its too late to help him out of the handicap since his biological clock for absorbing any language has hardened for lfie and he has become self conscious too.

Across India we need to promote the on campus use of spoken English and remove the present confusion of having two national languages by making English the sole national lingo.This is the way to prepare our youth for the mercilessly demanding employment market.Locally spoken languages like Hindi Tamil or Bengali will do for daily living and we can promote them too for our emotional satisfaction as Indians but let us look out at this wide world out there without any prejudices.Let us broaden our look first of all regarding this global tongue and enhance the capability of all our young men and women that are aspiring to fulfill their life's dreams!

This world,come to  hink of it, is a small village and there is NO door that will not open if you use the golden key called English command!

My warm regards to all my Xangan friends out there!You are in my mind and I am hectically busy these days thanks also to your friendly feedback and comments.Am happy to welcome you at my home in Wharton,Pennsylvania too!
