In today's world, we are facing a lot of discrimination in every aspects . But one of the most substandard discrimination is the discrimination of languages.
So basically in our world,most of the people think that the most superior language is English. People nowadays are following western culture only because they are finding it more 'fashionable' than the other, and on their process of following the western culture they are following the language of western people which is nothing but English. They are not only following it but also started discriminating others on the basis of language!
As far as I am concerned with my country , people who can speak in English are grouped as superior people than any other people who cannot speak in English. This type of discrimination hurts when people who are not from English medium background do not get a job instead of having a lot of knowledge. The only reason behind not getting the job is that they cannot speak in 'English'.
We live in a country of 1.324 billion people and still counting, with 23 official languages but we consider English, which is not even spoken in India, as the ultimate language to communicate. Now if such is the case, then we should officially terminate all the other mediums of school other than English medium in our country. As because knowing languages other than English is of no use in India, people will ultimately term as an 'illiterate' if they cannot speak in English, isn't?
Spain, Germany,Japan, China & many other countries consider their own native language as the official language to communicate , the reason is pretty simple that they love and respect their own language and country. But in our country the game is totally different . Here, the only way to get successful in any aspect is by speaking fluent English, no matter how much knowledge you have.
Star players like Lionel Messi , Cristiano Ronaldo do not prefer talking in English. They give their interview or any post match presentation in their own native language and nobody laugh at them because people there knows, how much talent these legends are having in their own field and they consider English only as a simple language to communicate.
But here in our country, we laugh at our star players when they hesitate to give an interview in English. This is a great example showing that we discriminate on the basis of language. We don't appreciate his/her talent for being a star player in India in any sports rather than we make fun of them specially on social media when they hesitate to speak in English.
So, my message through this blog is pretty simple that we should not discriminate any individual on the basis of languages. People might not know English but I believe that every individual have knowledge in different aspects. Language is just a merry path to communicate. Thus we should not disrespect people by terming them 'uneducated' on the basis of linguistic discrimination. They might be more educated than us in their own business. So always be humble and follow humanity.
STOP DISCRIMINATION , RESPECT EVERYONE :-)
