On the Language Debate in India

(Only for the patient, really long; I didn’t have time to make it shorter. If I do, I might post it separately for a wider discussion) I have been hearing about the language debate in India for a while now.

Now that I have lived in the US and traveled the world a bit I understand the importance of knowing/learning multiple languages.

2016: Year (and a half) in Review
