Charlmagne, the Roman Emperor, said, “To have another language is to possess a second soul.”
How fortunate then we are in India to be enriched by the wisdom of several languages – our mother tongue, the national language, and English as a link language, besides others. Everyone is exposed to English. Everyday words in use, banners, posters, newspapers – one cannot escape coming across English. It is, to many Indians, as familiar as their regional languages. All that is needed then is to build on this strength and become a proficient communicator in the language. Shakespeare rightly pointed out in ‘King Lear’, “Mend your speech a little, lest it mar your fortune.” Language gives one power.
English is the Language of global business and research. Let’s master this language and rule the world of Academia and Business.
