Rahul Easwar - (Mother Tongue) Malayalam vs English - Indiavision

Indiavision - Vote & Talk - Should Malayalam be made the compulsory primary subject in Schools in Kerala? Former Supreme Court Chief Justice VR Krishna Iyer, Kerala Chief Minister VS Achutanandan opines so.

Rahul Easwar, Poet Sri.Chemmanam Chacko discussing with Veena George as moderator.

Rahul Easwar "Mother, Motherland, Mother Tongue are greater than Heaven. I am a Bhakta of my mother tongue Malayalam. But that doesnt make me blind & superstitious. Antagonistic approach like that of Raj Thackeray shouldnt be taken. We should respect Hindi, Sanskrit, English.

Let our future, our children be rich with Mother Tongue, & other important great languages too.

Marathi is a beautiful language. So is Malayalam & Tamil and other languages. Hindi is the most used language in our nation. Hindi is also directly from the mother of all languages in India, Sanskrit. Hindi is not an alien language which is coming to dominate, rather Hindi is ours, an earlier growth from Sanskrit which spread all over.

I would simply invoke great Dr.Baba Saheb Ambedkar who said "Sanskrit should be made the National language and he couldnt make it becoz of insistence of Nehru

Raj Thakray's demand for preference for mother tongue is justified.

Hindi is not a national language.

how many people in india know, hindi is not our national language?

[KINGMJ1990]

Veer Savarkar, A Maharashtrian,A Hindu Nationalist said Hindi is the only language that can make us come together....Many Maharashtrian Freedom fighters believed this...Subhas Chandra Bose said this.Just because its not your mother tongue don't be against it...I am tamil and i don't agree with this anti hindi view

If you got for higher studies out side India..their main requirement is we should have completed our high school atleast on English as main language.

@yuvhind No. Sanskrit is not the mother of all languages in India. Tamil family of languages are not derived from Sanskrit.

Respond to this video... I fully understand why we have to learn english because of the opportunity to find job etc which i am fully in agreement with but do you see the greater loss i am speaking the situation they (the government )have pushed us into . we can be in any part of the world and still love our motherland all have gone for different reasons but have the same love for their land and their asperations to change something in their motherland should be also viewed .

@nishanthnair i was not against you, i was against a thought that to get a job in mnc we were speaking aganist Mr.iyers thought .well the fact about japan ,you look at history they were completely destroyed after world war .when they got things together the first thing they did was to remove all the ruling languages they had like spanish,english ,portuges ,french all these were there ruling japan at some point or other...after removing them only japaneses was introduced and they developed

[nishanthnair]

@agaman16 I am shocked to heaar your comment. In all the countries you mentioned, the business language in those countries are their mother language itself. Japs dont go out of their country for jobs... their country is a rich country... there is no need for them to learn english... Why did you go to europe for a job? why didnt u display the love for your motherland and mother tounge and take a job in kerala? And do you plan to teach ur kids in malayalam rather than english?

[agaman16]

it will be a good attempt if we can translate entire engineering,medical etc books to malayalam ,just like in japan n other developed countries in the world, its not in english but in thier own languages .english can be a side language ,such a attempt should be made .we have more tham 52 alphabets in malayalam twice that in english so we can easily tanslate why no attempt is beging made because we are in a sad state and that is commercial life .government too does not care .lets hope ....one day
