We live in the third world, where technology is plays an important role in our lives. People have changed from what they were before. The world is moving towards modernization. All this sounds very good and even makes me happy, because now we have excess to things that were not possible to achieve before. But the only thing which I dislike and don’t understand and is quite hurting even that why people are forgetting their culture and language? Even we see in our own country that rather than speaking our own national or mother language people prefer speaking English.
A few days back I saw a woman in a shopping center, she was talking to her daughter in English and the innocent child was unable to reply back in the same language. Probably she doesn’t speak to her in this language at home. Well, that’s what I assumed.
It is normally seen that the people talk among themselves in English even in their home. To a certain extent I agree that it’s a good thing but we must also promote our language, instead of promoting English. I remember one of my teachers who used to say that if you want to kill a nation, kill its language. I know many of such families who don’t speak their national or mother language among themselves, instead they prefer speaking in English, as a result their children don’t know how to speak in their own language.
I believe is that it is no harm to speak another language but we must not forget our own language.
