Juvenilia is glad to see its first guest post from Mr. Raghav Lal, a prolific writer and a social worker in reply to the post by Himanshu Shekhar titled Macauley's Legacy - 2. Owner of Juvenilia is the grand son of Mr. Raghav Lal.
The legacy of Indians with scholarly English aptitude is large and commemorable. With the advent of long slavery and consequent feeding of Indian School of thoughts and their applied sociology, the Indian entrepreneurs were compelled to search the centre of live institutes in English medium in the country and Oxford and Cambridge abroad. Institutions abroad were compelled to appreciate the Indian talents even in their 'racial hatred' and 'false white pride'. Indian students did establish their flag mast in every sphere like science, Mathematics, literature, politicsal aspirations, weaponry and battle field. Their curious learning, sincere research and appropriate use of vocabulary received appreciation on the world platform of genius.
1. A physicist Shri Jagdish Chandra Bose's experiment to prove life in immate bodies was a miracle.
2. Shri Satyendra Nath Bose's is still on the record in the form of Bose-Einstein Theory.
3. Indian Young students in London established a hostel for themselves where world class rebellions and freedom fighters could find a cordial shelter and framed the blue print of their future government. And the same hostel is known as 'India House' now. Lenin, De- Belra, Maxim Gorkey and M.N Roy may be counted in this context.
4. Many freedom fighters like Shri Vinayak Damodar Savarkar wrote his famous book, 'the first war of Indian Independence' in English.
5. Shri Aurobindo Ghosh, Shri Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Shri Raj Gopalachari and Smt. Sarojini Naidu preferred English language to express their claim for freedom of the country and exposed the tyranny imposed by the British rule.
6. The English answer sheets of M.A class were sent to Oxford from Calcutta for usual assessment and the answer sheet of an ordinary examinee, Rajendra Prasad was sent back with glamorous remark
The Examinee is better than the examiner.
7. And most importantly, one can't forget the mesmerized faces of the delegates when Swami Vivekananda began explaining the values of Indian life and Religion in the Chicago world Religion Conference in English.
All such prestigious records were established by such Indian youths whose sole aims and objectives were to earn prestige for the nation. They preferred high thinking even in scarcity.
Now a days India has top educational institutions to teach all wordly go of the life, which are at par with those abroad. Many foreigners are longing to get education here. Many so-called advanced countries prefer to get their patients treated here, even in a critical case. Many American and European big countries of hardware and software have established their branches in India with confidence of perfection in their product in India. President Obama regularly expresses his anxiety over growing competence of the Indian youth in production and the managerial skills of the industries.
So, the problem doesn't lie with the media of expression, but with fading the national pride. The present national scenario of aspirations in India has synchronized itself in the self domain and singularity.
I must earn money and avail a lavish life
This is the goal insight. Thus they are earning and shaping life like crorepati in individual capacity. So, they do not take it bad to project advertisement with wrong spell like the one in Child bear'.
They have love neither for Indian arts, culture, books or lifestyle nor for the same imported from abroad. They seek money, apply sure success tools for that and enjoy satisfaction in life.
Please wait for the time of saturation to come....
