Colonial mindset is a real issue with desi people and it always triggers me. I will always call it out, ap chahey jo bhi samjey.

Glad you did. But you can even have a discussion with others who think clever word play = copy paste ? smiley36

Mazay main raho yar… because like I said, asal baat English ki kabhi thi hi nahi 🤭

No idea why you are trying to divert the topic to what google shows when you search words with wrong spelling on google

Wrong spelling =/= wrong concept

one doesn't need to be a native speaker to get pronunciation of basic words correct without faking an accent but it's ok, not everyone gets the same access to education. As long as the role doesn't demand heavy lifting of the language, I think it's fine...

English is a language like any other language, wasn't Sajal criticized for speaking proper Urdu in ZPKB? People had a certain idea of how a village girl should speak but the same village girl is an educated one, her language being more refined doesn't take away her identity but it was criticized, that was more offensive in my opinion because villagers were being painted as people who can't speak proper Urdu

Jennifer's Urdu was criticized in Bepannah, it wasn't her first language, Mahira's punjabi was criticized in Maula Jutt

Every new gen nepo is criticized for their bad Hindi

It is the colonial hangover which makes one think that criticizing English is somehow associated with prestige when it is simply a comment on language efficency which is no different from criticizing someone for wrong Urdu, Hindi or Punjabi.

English and Hindi have many accents and dialects but generally in formal settings standard version is used but it doesn't matter as long as the target audience can understand what one is saying.

One more insensitive reviewer, how does one rationalize this thought process?

Literally, no one in Pakistan has English as their first language. Is it different in India? If you think that people who can speak perfect English with native accents are superior to others, that's a slavery mindset. Google it—there are dozens of articles about it. It's about time we came out of this inferiority complex.

PS: Someone reported my comment and it got moved to the vault. Tsk tsk

Nope, in India purely based on the education system it is quite different. Depends on which medium ( State, Cbse board or icse board).

For cbse and icse board: Until class 4 students learn all subjects (english, Hindi and one regional language).

From class 5, we have options. Like, a student can choose from kannada, Marathi, malyalam ,hindi, Sanskrit , french etc.

The rule is that students must study three languages, atleast two of which must be native Indian languages .

For instance, in my case I chose Sanskrit as my first language from the given options,but others may choose english or Hindi or the regional language as the first language.I chose english as the second language, and the regional language as the third language , though, the regional language is our native language.( The only rule is you have to study two Indian languages along with English).

I have heard it's changed now n you have to take one of the subject as regional language and it's compulsory now. Suppose, you are studying in Maharashtra, no matter what combination you take, one of them must have Marathi. Similarly, if you are studying in Karnataka, you must take up one of the subject as kannada and so on. That's applicable for all the states.

The above is applicable for icse n cbse boards. Same may differ for state boards.

Imagine, YumHaj + FaHania in the same show. Craze would be next level smiley42

I'm repeating myself here: I have no issues with the English language. My issue is with the notion that people who speak perfect English are superior to those who don't. This mindset is a remnant of the colonial era. When the British invaded the Indo-Pak subcontinent, they considered themselves superior, and some of the local population adopted this belief. This mindset persists today, as people still value those who speak perfect English over others who may be equally intelligent but speak a different language or have an accent.

I work for a company with employees from many different countries, and no one cares whether you pronounce words perfectly or not. I've only observed this behavior in desi people. Why is that? Perhaps because the British ruled us and not them.

You talked about slavery & colonial mindset which was unnecessary. Not even our grandparents have witnessed that era. How would it be a default setting of our generation?

From the discussion happening here a section of Pakistanis looks down upon people not knowing enough English & the other section puts down the former for trying to speak English.

At my place no one is obsessed with English. We have always communicated in Urdu in our schools when our books were in English medium except Urdu subject. It’s not our native language but it was our only official language for a very long time. So sometimes it becomes a necessity to learn some languages. I see a lot of people from Pak & India prefer to work overseas so it’s for their own good to learn to speak it fluently if they are moving to a country where natives speak English only.

Also related to English being a primary language or not. I don’t know what you guys were exactly trying to prove but English is a compulsory subject in our state. No matter what stream you choose after 11th English subject is compulsory from the first standard to graduation.
