Supreme Court Considers Whether English Is a Foreign Language in India
The Supreme Court of India is reviewing challenges to the CBSE's three-language formula, which requires two native Indian languages and excludes English from this category. Experts Apoorvanand and Ganesh Devy discuss whether English should be considered a foreign language in India, noting its long history, Indianization, and role as a link language in governance and education. They highlight that English and Hindi share Indo-European roots, and that language policy in India must consider the country's linguistic diversity without imposing any single language universally.
