Language issues
by Rajesh P 06 Mar '05

Dear Moderator, All languages have their place under the sun with varying degree of importance. You need your mother tongue, your regional language, your national language and also English. I sincerely feel that one should not be at the cost of other. Moreover, it is natural for human beings to take pride in their own language. Time to put an end to this thread ? Regards.

RE: [LIS-Forum] Why do we need high proficiency in English language?
by Aman Jha 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Dear friends, English may have transformed the world, but with non-native speakers now outnumbering native speakers 3 to 1, the language is being reshaped in return. In Asia, alone, the number of English users has topped 350 million, roughly the combined populations of the United States, Britain and Canada. Please read the recent article "NOT THE QUEEN'S ENGLISH?", published in the NEWSWEEK (7 March 2005), and you will find answer why do we need high proficiency in English lanugage. Some quotes are mentioned below for your info: "We tell students you need two things to succeed: English and computers," says Chetan Kumar, a Euro Languages manager "Within a decade, 2 billion people will be studying English and about half the world - some 3 billion people - will speak it", according to a recent report from the British Council As one 12-year-old self-taught English-speaker from China's southwestern Sichuan province says, "If you can't speak English, it's like you're deaf and dumb." "Indeed, English has become the common linguistic denominator. Whether you're a Korean executive on business in Shanghai, a German Eurocrat hammering out laws in Brussels or a Brazilian biochemist at a conference in Sweden, you're probably speaking English", Says author of this article CARLA POWER.

English...?
by A.V. Nagarathna 04 Mar '05

Dear All, ........Response to Mr./Dr. Hiremath I am annoyed only because your arguments are not logical. Basically members on this forum can offer their suggestions when the argument is logical. I am surprised that you talk about decency! Can you just read once again all your messages to this forum how decent the words you have used. Disserviceunwarrantedslaves to Englishunfortunate Indiansshow oof...look down upon By the way who are you to refer to others as unfortunate You are questioning me what is show off, it is you who used these words in your message first timeif you can offer me explanation what you mean by this.. I can give you reply Dont you understand even now, after reading several messages on this forum explaining why you need to know English and when you need it ? Who are you to declare Tamil is the language of Bangalore? If you want to promote or advice usage of regional languages, canvas in that language, why are you using English for this purpose? Since you are opposing usage of English, first you have to implement and stop using English before you advice others. In spite of several responses on this forum --- explaining why English is essential, you are continuing to argue BLINDLY and enforcing your fixed concepts and ideas on others. May be it is better to simply IGNORE messages with no logical arguments, so that little time is saved. Thank you, Regards, AVNagarathna
