Linguistic diversity should be discouraged
May 30, 2018 at 9:09 pm
When I was in school in India, I was taught 4 languages: English, Hindi, Kannada and Sanskrit. If that's not bad enough, I spoke a fifth language, Malayalam, at home. It would've been far better if India had just one language; then I may have been able to master it as well as I did English. While nothing can be done about the existence of multiple languages in India or the world, it is surely possible to actively discourage linguistic multiplicity at least at the national level. For example, the federal government can decide to teach a maximum of 2 languages at school. I shudder to think how much time I could have saved if I didn't have to learn all those additional languages.

Thoughts?
