Anchoring Script for The Future of English In India || Essay The value of studying English

 Introduction:Free India wants to grow into a powerful nation. She is trying to progress in all spheres. The economic, social nis, social and political life of the people is to be changed. This is a gigantic task. To fulfil this, people must have upto-date knowledge of the different branches of science. Without expert technicians, mechanics and engineers much progress is not possible. We need them in increasing numbers. Besides this, a growing nation has also to guard herself against various internal dangers. Under such conditions, the selection of language to be studied by the youth of the country becomes very significant. English is the store-house of scientific knowledge. Hence its study is of great importance for a developing country like India.


India's role in international affairs and the help given by the English language
India's foreign policy is the focus of attention of all the countries of the world. The whole of the world expects to quench its thirst for peace with this policy. India wants to be friendly with all countries. She has to explain and convince others that her point of view is correct. This cannot be done without an effective medium for the exchange of ideas. English provides us with such a medium. This is the language which enjoys the status of an International language. In the U.N.O., the discussions are carried on in this language. In fact, the majority of the countries of the world conduct their business in this tongue. If India wants to play her role in international matters effectively, her people must study it.

The importance of English in internal matters
India is a country in which people living in different parts have their own languages. The regional languages are quite different from one another. On the whole, there are 15 officially recognised languages and more than 1,650 languages and dialects in India. The leaders and the administrators of the country cannot remain in contact with all these regions without a common language. It is not possible for everyone to know ten or fifteen languages. We do not have any common language at present, except English. During the English rule, all tried to learn this language. We can feel at home in any corner of the country, if we know this language. English is the language best suited for maintaining internal unity. If we want to crush the provincial, communal and separatist tendencies of our people, we must continue to study it. English is the most important means of national integration with terrorism raising its ugly head in different parts of the country. We must study English or perish.

Technological and Scientific advancement is not possible without English
This is the age of science. The world is changing at a terrific speed. This is all due to the scientific and technological progress which the other countries have made. If we want to keep pace with these fast moving countries, scientific and technological research must be made in our own land. We can advance only through a knowledge of these subjects. Our own regional languages do not have the capacity to serve this purpose Ultimately. we have to depend upon English. To produce first rate scientists and technicians, English must be taught to our people as good and useful books on these subjects are available in this language only.

The importance of English for higher studies
For proper mental development it is essential that we study the best literature. If we want to shed the feeling of false superiority and to broaden our minds, we must be ever-ready to take the best from others. Now, the literatures of other countries and of our own different languages can be casily obtained in English. In our own languages, modern upto-dateliterature is not available. This makes it essential that our youngmen continue to learn English. Moreover, many a youngmen go to foreign countries for advanced studies. They need good knowledge of English. Its importance for such scholars is indeed very great.

Conclusion
English must remain a compulsory subject for quite a long time to medium of instruction, at least in come. It must also continue to be the mediu science and technology, and in other subjects also in higher classes. Every effort must be made to develop our own languages. But, till our own languages are fully developed we must continue to provide facilities in our schools and colleges for its study. It would be a sad day, indeed, when India discontinues the study of this important world-language, or lowers its standard. This truth is being recognised now, even by those who had indulged in anti-English agitation only a few years ago.
