It's good to learn a language only if you think that it could help you in your career because if you do not practice a language , it is most likely that you will forget what you learnt .

I learned Russian language to read Russian literature in original especially biographies.

I tried to learn it when I was in Moscow for a short term course but had to come back in early 90s due to very bad economical issues there. I managed to return with great efforts as it was impossible to survive there. Ruble was like a piece of paper and not even worth its value it was printed on.

Learning foreign language is more useful to us. It makes more smarter and confident to us.
It improves our communication.It is more useful while travelling and know different people and regoin.

I agree but only when you use the language for a purpose otherwise you will forget it very soon if not in regular use. Like I have forgotten some of the languages I learned while I stayed in those areas.

I have a penchant for reading literary works of the authors’ unabridged and original works. Especially Russian works of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. This was the purpose why I learned Russian. Conversation was never my priority.

It is good to have a working knowledge of any language. I feel that every state should make sure that the state language is learnt by those who live there like it is done in almost all European countries ...(like learning Marathi or Telugu or kannada !) It also makes sure that people get to learn more languages..

When some one permanently or for a very long period resides in a state, he will learn the language spoken there without any efforts by state. For people going to a state for short period, English and Hindi suffice. too much emphasis on learning languages is harmful as this will hinder performance in the main occupation of an individual. For example, an engineer should give more attention to his own job rather than learning numerous languages.

Not necessarily ! I know of may people from the neighboring states living in Banglore for 2 or 3 generations still unwilling and unable tp speak kannada.....Of course the wish to do so should come from the individulvals themselves...
