It is universally accepted that ENGLISH is the global language and the knowledge of this can help us in any corner of the world. I would like to quote the words of Jawaharlal Nehru in this context," Engish is the window to the world, language." But still it is debatable question that which langage should be given first priority, to English or mother tongue or national language. In the present cenario we find many men and women advocating for English language at the cost of our national language as well as for the mother tongue. I would like to put forth some reasons as far as the language issue is concern.
what is the primary function of any language? The answer can be, the transaction of the ideas from one person to another person or to convey the message. But the same thing can also be done through signs and symbols then again the same question reamains unanswered. Language is not the collection of words or letters, it is something beyond than that. Any language cotains cultural and emotional touch with it and language is one of the most important and vital base to maintain and sustain the cultural heritage. So any other foreign language should not be implimented at the cost of our own languages.
As far as study and business part is concern English should be given due weightage,moreover one can take help of English to enrich his or her knowledge power also. But it is not proper to consider ours as inferior language. Some times people feel that if they use English more in their daily affairs than they will be considered as well-cultured human beings, and they will be respecetd more in compare to others. I think this an illusion for them. Going much deeper in the same issue I would like to ask one question to all that
"will it be possible to get the same emotions and feelings of any perticular culture with help of foreign languge?
Translation is the option for this problem up to some extent but still it almost all impossible to have the same appeal which can be achieved through the origional language or from the native speaker.So in nut shall we may say that we should take the benifit of any foreign language as far as our needs are concern but at the sama time we should not be prejudiced against our own mother tongue and national language.
