Well in India the greatest challenge is to the culture
and languages, like Sanskrit and Urdu have almost
died, and more languages and scripts are just
vanishing since the use of English is becoming status
symbol and parameter of intelligence, hence is has
also effecting art and basic cultures,
I always believed that all languages and cultures are
unique and have beauty of its own and not be compared,
as for me my mother tongue - Punjabi is supreme though
I dont use it much but I try to speak and express in
Punjabi, and as an artist also i have explored that
Indian culture is really creative and in sink with
nature,
The kids in school speak English from class one but I
think they need to learn expression in there mother
tongue first as it has been proved that children learn
better/fast in their mother tongue.
Now we have a class of people who can speak English
and those who cant, and then people like me who are
concerned but helpless.
