US mum on PM's comment

Which planet is this sehadri person living in - certainly not on this earth, for surely if he did, he'd know that English is the international language, everywhere, which even the xenophobic Madarins and Japanese have gone into overdirve to learn. Grow up, please!

well, the japanese do not learn english as their first and the only language. i think that was seshadri ji's point. a lot of educated hindus do not know their mother language well, very much unlike the average japanese who can write wonderful poems in japanese. you will find it is not easy to get by in japan with english - even in tokyo. same applies to chinese who are very proud of hteir civilization, culture and hence their language.
