In our lifetime, will see country where English speakers will be ashamed: Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said soon a time would come when those speaking English in the country would 'feel ashamed'. Shah, who was speaking at a book launch event here, said those who do not speak Indian languages cease to remain fully Indian and that India cannot be understood through 'foreign languages'. 'Hum sab ke jeevan mein, iss desh mein, angrezi bolne waalon ko sharm aayegi, aise samaj ka nirmaan ab door nahi … Aur main maanta hoon, hamare desh ki bhashayein hamari sanskriti ka gehna hain … hamare desh ki bhashaon ke baghair hum Bharatiya hi nahin rehte. Hamara desh, iska itihas, iski sanskriti, hamara dharm, isko samajhna hai to koi videshi bhasha mein nahin samajh sakte (In our lifetime, we will see a society in which those speaking English will feel ashamed, that day is not far … I believe that the languages of our country are the ornament of our culture. Without them, we would not have been Bharatiya. Our country, its history, its culture, our Dharma, if these have to be understood, it cannot be done in foreign languages),' Shah said at the launch of <Main Boond Swayam, Khud Sagar Hoon, authored by IAS officer Ashutosh Agnihotri. The Home Minister said India could not be imagined in its entirety through 'half-baked foreign languages'. 'Only Bharatiyata can help us do it, only Bharatiya languages can do it. I know that this fight is tough, but I strongly believe that Bharatiya society will win this fight.' 'Once again, with pride, we will run our country using our languages; we will think, research, find solutions and also lead the world,' Shah said. In recent years, the BJP-led government at the Centre has found itself in the middle of language rows involving the DMK-led government in Tamil Nadu, which has accused it of Hindi imposition. The Centre has denied this, saying the three-language formula does not make Hindi compulsory. Shah, however, spoke of Indian languages without going into which language can be a link language in a linguistically diverse country.
