ABSTRACT;

   

                India is multilingual and multicultural from north to south and east to west. India speaks many language and Indian people use the English as a second language. Indian people speak the Hindi as a first language. We can see the double face of English in India.

 

     WHY DON’T SPEAK THE ENGLISH INDIAN PEOPLE?

    

         Only reason is greatest mass of Indian doesn’t know English language that’s they resects English language.

   

         When India was free from the in 1947. British symbol were replaced but the institution and instruments were retained. At that time our government decided that English was not official language. There were aspirations and pressures to make Hindi or Hindustani as the national language of the new nation, but ultimately resigning the multinational character of the country, the Indian constitution did not speak of the nation language of the union. The difference will be only regarding which language will replace it and when the final decision was that it would be Hindi devanageri script.

       

·       English official language in India

  

          During the prescribed period of year for the complete change of the official language of the union. There was growing political opposition in some states to the progressive use of Hindi for official purpose. Indian are using numbers of regional language and dialect Hindi is over accepted national language because 36% of the Indian are use Hindi as their mother tongue. So English is abused in India as second language and official language.

*English as a court language;

   

         During the freedom the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru declares that Hindi as a first language because all the Indian people speak the Hindi and they don’t know and understand the English is a official language in India but today in India the supreme court of India speak the Hindi and high court of states used the official language. And the judgment decree and order must be accompanied by an authorized translation in English.

 

          Today we can see the most of the ENGLISH medium school in India who run by the private trust. Minority organization missionaries and the central government English medium are prestigious and is in great demand. For the replacement of English in higher education like the under graduate, postgraduate and professional college. Indian language medium available in many colleges, particularly in arts and humanities at the undergraduate level.

   In India English may be used various place under them description. We use English as a first language and as a second language and foreign language.

·      English language of slavery;

·          In my opinion the language is not all the symbol of the slavery. The ideas which have resisted us to think global are never ever symbol of the slavery.

 

   *ENGLISH as a link language;

  

             About400 language or dialects are spoken in India 30% of Indian used Hindi result is that it’s know as a national language. English is know only by educated but for business cultural and social affairs only English is used by over politician even businessman and other.

·      Language of knowledge and personal needs

·           Now days only is not necessary but soft skill is also as equal as degree for example if you complete M.B.A with more than 75% but you don’t have knowledge of English language and you don’t speak in this situation you don’t get any kind of job.

·        English is every important roar the Indian people.  After independence the nationalistic euphoria gave way to the realities of economic reconstruction of the society with its competitiveness between the different regions and linguistic groups to share its benefits, and of dependence on international power. When India free from the rule of England. English is usefulness this all type. English is benefits for the educated man and all the India used English give the knowledge the Indian people.

·                 Thus hear we can say that English is advanced and disadvanced in our society. Many educated people only use English for our purpose and many times English language destroyed the Gujarat people because they don’t understand the English and English is destroyed for the journalist profession.  So English is a benefit and destroyed in widely people.

·           

·              Thus the preference for English. However, is a private choice and not public platform? No political party, for example, has a manifesto for E English. Through the political leaders in their private life may go in for English like sending their children to English medium school.   

   

        Thus English is disadvantages and advantages for the worldly people.
