U R Ananthamurthy is right. U get more publicity & money if u write in English. But writing in yr mother tongue gives best results. Due to stranghold of English medium schools during last 35 yrs in cities and towns (now spreading to villages also), we hv already raised one generation, which did not enjoy the fruits of learning in mother tongue. They probably also look down upon their mother tongues.
For learning English, the medium of instruction is not required to b English. But unfortunately, that is what is happening in our country, killing our beautiful phonetic scripts and languages. Secondly having given over emphasis on English for office works has also gone against our own languages. As per UN study report, only Hindi & Bengali of all Indian languages will overcome the onslaught of English in the country.
It is time we forget our differences and try to develop two common scripts, one for south and one for the other parts of the country followed by two common languages.
We should also encourage use of our own languages in the official works, banking, courts, etc, so that people not knowing good English can also get job. Secondly English medium schools should b banned by a constitutional amendment, bcz earlier one such attempt in TN failed in the court. However English must b taught as a compulsory subject due to its international importance, say from class III onwards. I started learning English in class VI only.
