All things Indian

Students bullied for interacting with the CM in American English. Unfortunate victims of an idea that failed miserably?
They have been trolled on various platforms with the general public and also the opposition party enacting these students and their accents. Making funny memes around it. Causing a lot of angst to these children. Not to mention the mental health being affected while the clamor for English education continues right from the early British colonialism era. This idea to ensure that there is a pool of manpower resources to carry out menial administrative tasks and make it easier to issue instructions to them

The challenge in front of the people who are navigating the nation or the political parties or the actual leaders of that time was to create a workforce and generate employment as soon as possible in some form or other, to create a labor force. Turner fitter ITI. These are the institutes which came into existence then. They were the partner. All of them are no longer available, first of all

ITI slowly and steadily ITI turned into a very good institute, created a huge labor force and international revenue share, the foreign direct investment. All those policies came into picture. What happened is we lost the path a bit in things whole transference. The progress that came in made us complacent and we never ever moved from the Indian literacy program to Indian education program. Kind of a churn which was required

Thank you so much, Salaji, for inviting me into this and because I got a lot of things to know learn from you and the main issue also and agree with you, many factors actually are responsible. Many factors. It depends upon many factors and the way you have spoken about things and actually I was not knowing much about these things and it was a great help for me and I agree. Okay. And keep inviting me into such things that will help me to know about a lot of things

So whoever it is that has taught these children that person should be the one that should be questioned about their teaching ideologies and methodologies and what exactly was going through their head when they decided to imprint an accent from the Americas into a kid that is, frankly, trusting the teacher and relying on the teacher to give them actual information, right? I'll tell you things. I'm Gujarati, okay?

So dignity of labor was also getting inculcated into every single person who used to go to these with their pizza or education centers. That is completely gone now. Everyone focuses only on legacy, not on education. The amount of people that the amount of parents actually that come to schools complaining about the silhouette not being over because the teacher was teaching something amazing. This happened in my college

The kids are not allowed mobile or any kind of electronic devices. They are taught personal level pay. And the kids that I have seen, whom I have handled myself on two occasions, they are way different as compared we met in a farmhouse farm, say, just near river. The kids are I cannot come in. They're just dynamic. These are the future rulers

Okay. Listening to this? I'm reassured. Key you keep seeing stuff on social media and you keep reading stuff. Key in terms of innovative ways of learning and different models of of education projects. But to hear from someone who's actually involved in this, yes. It makes me happy. There's something to look forward to. Right. Or of course

Thank you. Thank you. You know, the Cassava thing that you said that was such a perfect yes, definitely. You're a writer. You know how to play with your work. That was such a unique and, you know, easy way of explaining through the kasava root concept. Amazing one. They're amazing one. And thank you. Thank you for listening

In fact, it impacts the children who are doing what they were made to do. But the question remains, like you said, why aren't Indians comfortable or in fact proud of the accent for the second language that they have? Indians are not native English speakers, and so are the Europeans, who are much more comfortable and prouder about the way they speak in English. And it's not just Europeans. In fact, it's every region across the world apart from South Asia
I understand from them on how this program has benefited them. Not exactly sure on what our new educational policy introduced offers, but that will be worth discussing as well as well and see how the new educational education policy sees education

And I think so many startups right now emerging in India, especially in the education space, are looking at this very closely. Now, how much of this will penetrate into the heart of rural India, into the heart of small towns, government, schools, et cetera? We will have to wait and watch. And also, yes, the appeasement culture. We must learn to in many ways, put ourselves first, right, and not fall prey to this kind of appeasement politics
