Can’t English be considered an indigenous Indian language, asks Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is probing whether English, widely taught in India, could be viewed as an indigenous language, challenging the term 'native' in a CBSE directive. This inquiry comes amid a broader push for the three-language formula, aimed at aligning with the Constitution's objective of promoting Indian languages in official capacities. The discussion has significant implications for educational policy and the cultural identity tied to language use in India. It highlights a deeper tension between colonial legacies and the nation's aspirations to embrace its linguistic heritage.
