LOVE YOUR LANGUAGE!!!!

Moving ahead to the next step on blogger.....Let's start from where I ended last time(My first time). I was talking about the change I feel recently, especially in our country India. Now, coming directly to the point, I am observing the change in the Indian people's mentality about adoption of anything from other countries(Western countries). 
I am very fond of languages. Therefore, I have focused on language in this article. Sorry, if anybody from the readers doesn't like this. As per my very first blog, I want to discuss about a bitter truth according to my understanding. Let me express my views. (Smiling alone as nobody is going to stop me on internet whether I write sweet or bitter).
There is one KATHIYAWADI(GUJARATI) proverb : " ANDAR THI UGE ENE KOI NO PUGE"; which means that anything originated from heart or soul is incomparable. In today's world, this proverb must be followed by anyone who wants to be successful in life. You believe in your own inner soul, own voice and then see : the world is ready to welcome you with garlands. 
Well, coming to languages; Languages belong to each and every aspect of whole life i.e. culture, traditions, music, dance, arts, literature, education, business, travelling and tourism, in short, the whole life. I am nobody to criticize any language but my point of view is just that everyone must be proud to his/her own language. 
Why we Indians are so much mad after English language? We are almost 50 years back to the developed countries just because of liking and using English at the cost of our own national language 'Hindi' or our respective 'Mother-tongue'. I may be proven wrong over here as somebody can say that Language has not any role to play in development of any country. But, we have very good examples of the countries which didn't accept English language except the international exchanges are leading in the world today. Mauritius and Korea are the outstanding examples who have kept faith in French and Korean language respectively and denied English. These both countries got independence from British rule in 1968 and 1945 respectively and they are performing quite well internationally in every manner. China, Japan and Russia are leading today not just because they flourished and nourished their own languages but they are also proud to do so. They believe in the proverb mentioned above. In fact, English speaking countries are also much much ahead in the world as they maintain their own English language. 
In the Indian education system, Hindi is becoming obsolete day by day. Hindi and Mother-tongue are optional subjects and English is the compulsory subject. This is the thing to worry about. Can you imagine what would have happen to one of the most ancient, most populated country if we emphasized on Hindi more than English? If India couldn't be a Super Power, at least our conditions would be better than those are at present. I am not inviting the public for rally to promote Hindi. I am humbly requesting all the Indians that use English, but not at the cost of your own Hindi language or Mother-tongue. I don't know about others, but for the respect of our rich languages : I CAN'T LEAVE MY GUJARATI(OR HINDI) MOTHER WEARING SAREE, JUST FOR AN ENGLISH AUNTIE IN JEANS AND T-SHIRT. 
Now, anybody, after reading this blog can laugh at me that I wrote this for Hindi language in English. Question is absolutely valid. I will start blogging in Hindi and Gujarati as soon as possible but till then, bear me in English. 
But, at least, I am happy that I know my mistake that I am saying in English that I love Hindi and I am proud of Hindi. 
Now, I think further stretching of this article might be boring for readers. So, see you soon. 
Till then, LOVE YOUR LANGUAGE.

JUST THINK and EXPRESS....!

Happy to start a blog. A totally new and pleasant experience. Got a platform to connect with those with whom I can match the frequency. Nothing to tell today. But, however, mind refuses to stop here. I am also asking a question to myself why should I stop? When I created a blog, I have to be loyal with myself, need to write something, should write whatever comes to my mind. Okay; let's go through the bitter truth of recent India.

Is anybody feeling change from last several years? What is going on in the most ancient, most intelligent, most soulful nation of an era? Everybody wants a change in the country but nobody want to change the self. That's the bitter truth what I am trying to explain. But what will happen to the country whether anyone reads this or not, whether anyone think or write this or not!!! Even I, by myself, being a humble student of current flows, being so positive, so kind, so loyal to myself and secondly to MERA BHARAT MAHAAN, I am lamentable to think so negatively. This is because of the wrong beliefs taught to our generation. The youth must come forward and do the right things fearlessly. Otherwise the future of India will be quite full of dark and no one of us will have the time to regret on those conditions which are created by us knowingly or unknowingly.

And, in this context, I took the very first step today and started a blog with a view that my nation needs something from me whatever I can give in terms of this humble effort.

What's going on in reader's mind? Any idea what am I trying to tell? Well, guess and think about it.

Please respond to this if you like. Keep encouraging me. Jai Hind.
