Need to relook if English can be considered an indigenous language: SC

The Supreme Court has raised eyebrows by questioning whether English should even be classified as an indigenous language, while simultaneously declining to halt the CBSE's three-language formula. This initiative aims to boost Hindi and regional languages, adhering to constitutional mandates. Critics argue that the scheme faces hurdles in teacher availability and infrastructure, along with a lack of NCERT books. This debate underscores the broader tension between promoting local languages and the global utility of English, hinting at deeper discussions about education policy and national identity.
