For Shudhras and Adivasis to have a shot at a better life, English language education is essential

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement on April 8 that Hindi must be spoken by people in all of India’s states instead of English will undermine development and foster a regressive brand of nationalism.

Nationalism has no meaning if all children do not get equal language education from Class one to Class 12. Higher education must be available in any language for those who want to pursue it.
