I have travelled round the world for business reasons and it is not that every country thinks the same. But it is a fact that we as Indians also do not know many things about many countries in the world.How many people know that English is spoken in only few countries in the world like US,CANADA,UK , AUS, SOUTH AFRICA. Other most countries are not even concerned about English leave alone to speak them . And we as Indians think that to speak good English we become one of the smartest. This is a misconception within Indians.

Rajarshi, how come you are posting here in this website in English? If it weren't for English (the universal language of Science, Technology, Management and Business), tell me would you have typed in Hindi on your computer?
No one has a misconception about English here. Just because I don't know about many other countries does not make me a less intelligent person.
Let me challenge your brain with one question: Do you know the difference between the languages, history, diversity, architecture, natural resources, cultures, food-habits, dressing habits, festivals, deities, entertainment of all the 4 Southern states of India (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala)?

Of course I know about the southern states languages, diversity etc.
Every country has their own language. For eg in all the arab countries the language is arabic approx 23 countries. In thier computer key board is in arabic and not english. In spain, japan also the keyboards are in their respective languages.
How do u say that english is the universal language for Technology.
Wat do u have to say about Japan which is the No.1 country in the world for techology? Do u mean to say they study in English and communicate in English?
Wat about Italians?
I am not saying we shouldnt know English.U got me wrong. Wat I am saying that 90% Indians are ignorant that English is the most spoken language in the world and if u dont know English u dont know anything that is wat educated Indians think.(most of them)
