Well just scrolling through the news archives i found a very astonishing piece of news. According to evaluation conducted by Nasscom an IT body only 50% of the total engineers were employable in india.
Its quite sad how India is focusses on quantity rather than quality. The education system of India needs a major change over. What I believe is that the problem lies in the language. We as Indian proudly sing the National Anthem on Independence day but we have left our liguistic instincts far behind. Whether we belong to any state, speaking any language than english..we are forced day after day to shallow the bitter 'tablet' called 'English'.
I ask..Why can't we study in our own language. And after all we can't use the excuse that we are exporting engineers..as according to this report 50% of the engineers can answer this question, given below.
Q Did you _______ cereal for breakfast.
Only 50% of the students were able to give the correct answer – have. Wow?

Now what are we running after?..We proudly say that we are one of the largest producers of engineers and we can 'have' cereal for breakfast. How is that..
Now problem is not you..me or him. But the problem lies within us. We as a whole have rejected our language whether it be Hindi, Punjabi or Telugu....and Marathi also.
..This is something we should look forward. Lets make it optional for people to study in english. Lets make engineers for our satisfaction and not for show off. Lets change the India and stop caring for the world as we have to come back to our country one day...one day, and that day you will realise the importance of your language.
Take an example of China..you ask a person on the street, standing suited, booted, with a Rado watch on his wrist and a black laptop bag..''Hey, Whats the time?''..He replies..'' Chong wayang sing sing''. ''alright..but i am in no mood to sing''. Apart from this joke they have really brought up their country just by embracing their language.
