New Delhi : Union Home Minister Amit Shah opened another front by asserting that those who speak English in the country would soon feel ashamed. The Home Minister underscored that native languages were central to India’s identity and should take precedence over foreign tongues.
In this country, those who speak English will soon feel ashamed – the creation of such a society is not far away. I believe that the languages of our country are the jewels of our culture,” Shah said. He also called for a renewed effort across the country to reclaim India’s linguistic heritage. Shah also forecast that English would be frowned upon as a symbolism of colonial slavery across the world.
He asserted to understand our country, our culture, our history, and our religion, no foreign language can suffice. The idea of a complete India cannot be imagined through half-baked foreign languages. The senior BJP leader further said. The senior BJP leader further said, I am fully aware of how difficult this battle is, but I am also fully confident that Indian society will win it. Once again, with self-respect, we will run our country in our own languages and lead the world too.
Amit Shah’s remarks come at a time when some southern and opposition-ruled states have accused the Centre of imposing Hindi through the implementation of the ‘three-language formula’ that is a part of the New Education Policy (NEP).
