Who says that we do not work and talk in our languages. The states in India have regional languages including Hindi as official languages. The govt. of U.P. and local courts work in Hindi. similarly in Punjab and Tamilnadu where govts work in local regional languages. Most people speak in mother tongue only. English is used mainly as a link language and also for official work of center. It is no use speaking the oft repeated stereotyped meaningless material. Also it makes no sense to compare multi lingual India with single language small countries. People in India celebrate more local festivals than number of days in the year. They even die in stampedes while gathering in temples of deities- all Hindu local. I don't understand why you make the totally false statement that we don't follow our culture and tradition. People see more Hindi movies than English. How do you say that we use foreign language. The circulation of regional newspapers including Hindi far outnumbers the English dailies. What makes you say that we don't use our language or use foreign language.
Incidentally, a language that we adopt and use is ours. Now English is as much ours as that of British. Language is for our facility and progress. We have many noted authors in English including Sarojani Naidu, Rajgopalachari, Mulk Raj Anand. This goes to show that English is no more foreign and this is ours.

Can you get a good jab if you know only Hindi? without English there are very less jobs left in India. and about schools , almost all Hindi schools closed in metro cities and small towns. English medium schools grown at a large extent in towns and metro cities.Now India want to grow only with the help of English.

You have to be realistic about your own nation and its status. While speaking about Japan and China they have a great work culture , commitment and dedication which is totally lacking in us and a single language although china has many dialects but having the same base unlike us , added to which we have so many languages and it makes it difficult to correspond all through the country.This is precisely why English has become our link language which has been serving the purpose very well...Adapting culture and practices is left to the individual !

Of course, English is important for job opportunites at wider scale/ This cannot be wished away. Japanese aand Chinese also have to attain proficiency in English if they seek jobs abroad. If you wish equal opportunity for one knowing only Bhojpuri or Tamil and another knowing English besides regional language, this is mere wishful thinking. You can grow with realisation of ground reality.

I do not wish to comment about culture part, but we cannot stop using English, since we already know that it is an international language connecting people all over. What you are referring to as a foreign language has become a part of our identity and is also one of the official languages of our country. English language no has an Indian variety called English (India). Words such as pucca/pukka, jungle etc are part of any English dictionary. So, in my opinion it is no longer a foreign language.

We are using Indian English so it is very much native, and as far as development concerned it depends upon various other variables, despite negative variables we are progressing, as far as China is concerned we are not seeing poor of theirs as there must be poverty there but due to glowing light of development all such negative aspects stays back burner.

For the development of China and India, Using their own language is not the sole reason.They clubbed it with an ethical work culture, Commitment and sincerity. If by using Hindi, India becomes Developed, It would have become a Developed country long long ago.

Personally I don't consider English as an alien language..it has become one of our own. But as far as development is concerned, as you have mentioned there are other things which needs to be taken into consideration. The talent and merit of scholars in India are not adequately rewarded, hence such people go to foreign countries to showcase their talent, this is one reason why India is still lagging behind.

English has indeed become almost a mother tongue of many Indians. It is regularly observed how parents instruct their tiny tots in English so that they can pick it up fast. There is merit in the argument that because of English making deep inroads in the elite they are to a significant extant cut off from the real India. That is why it is often said that their are two India's -India and Bharat. A home grown national language has more binding power but in a multi language country like ours we seem to be united in accepting a foreign language as thec most important language -of commerce and employment. Development will take place irrespective of which language is used.

English is considered as the lingua franca of the world and in a multi-lingual country like ours we have to have a common language. When merely talking against a particular sect gives rise to violence and riot, practically speaking we cannot use any other language other than English.
