IS KNOWING ENGLISH NECESSARY OR NOT

IS KNOWING ENGLISH NECESSARY OR NOT 

Is it necessary to know English for communication ? If it is necessary then how many people know English , and speak in daily life in English ? Well the answer is not everyone .Speaking in English has become a trend , a passion , a language to match the society ,It's just to show how modern you are .Most of the time it has been found that children in modern era  find out very disappointing about the fact that their parents cant speak in English  hey thin that it will make their head down in-front of his other friends , and even in colleges it is found that people make fun of those students who cant communicate in English , in colleges and schools where mainly group ism takes place students like to include only those friends who are over smart , can speak in English and has a snobbish living .Before independence everyone used to speak in their mother-tongue its only when British started ruling us , it was a necessity to know English as it was made compulsory language , so people started up with this trend of English .
Well the solution to this problem is All U have to have is self confidence , if u r confident about yourself that the medium in which you are speaking is acceptable and approachable to people then its so well so good , what is important is your words are understandable y latter ( audience ) what is more important is you speak sense , and your lecture consists of material , logic and meanings then everyone will like to listen no matter in whatever language you are speaking , Well in a place like India where everyone mother tongue is  Hindi , Marathi , Bengali , Urdu e.t.c .A common language that is understood by everyone is Hindi so in a place over here its not necessary to know  English only .Well I am not completely disagreeing with the fact the English should be boycotted as a language but instead i want to draw your whole attention to the point that there is nothing to feel shy about not knowing English , but instead you can communicate with people in which ever language you feel comfortable with and simultaneously if u have the eager to learn English then you can learn that in any age , there is no age limit for education and language . A movie which inspires this kind of situation is English Vinglish here this movie revolves around the story of a women who is a housewife from profession , both her children's and husbands are well educated and they make fun of this lady just because she don't know how to speak English , even her children insults her for the same reason , a turn took place in her life only when she went abroad to attend her cousin's wedding and she thought of learning English , when she had started learning English , she dint knew how to speak the basics even properly , she used to speak in her mother-tongue  and in  broken English , and it was not that people used to make fun of her but listen to her as she spoke sense , and ultimately she proved herself that she can speak English when her child challenged her in cousin's wedding that her mom cant speak English , and she proved herself by speaking proper English .The Villagers who don't now how to speak English it doesn't mean that people don't speak to them , but people does speak to then in their own language  and even when foreigners come to India they have the desire to learn our language , desire to learn new language . Then why is it that we only have to show that how forward we are by speaking in English , we can show that how creative and talented we are by speaking in our own language .
