How many Americans you see in India or settling here and sending their kids to such schools?Well I agree with u,it is unacceptable that u live in a state & cannot communicate in that language,the example of Americans & French given by u is perfect.
About Thackeray,I would like to remind u that One of his grandson goes to American school where fees r not less $500 per month.Well I don't think in American school,they will be teaching u Marathi or Indian culture.it is for other children to learn Marathi.Actually the school is meant for American children or for NRI, Thackeray is neither a American or a NRI.
NRI school is a statement that they have state of the art facilities blah blah blah, to crank up the fees,There are many American/NRI schools here in hyderabad too,I Don't see American kids in that school.
If you stay outside India for more than 6 months without returning to India you become a NRI, do you know that?Thats the rule for NRI.
My school fees in 90's was almost 5000 INR that was in Hyderabad not even Mumbai.Back then Hyderabad was not so developed as Mumbai was.
500$ per month is ok if you want to study in some good schools right now.
The point here is the Thackerays no matter they are educated in English they will still love their Mother tongue and Read and write in it.
Just like i would prefer to talk in Telugu first even though i know other languages.If the person cannot understand then i will try to talk to them in a language they are comfortable in.But if the same person resided in my state for 20 years and cannot speak a word of telugu then thats unacceptable.
The point here is beating them at their own game, Didn't Gandhi go to study and become a barrister in England and later return to lead the Freedom Movement? Was it hypocrisy and double standards?One one hand Thackeray criticizes Valentine's day & Western pop culture & on the other hand,his Grandson goes to American School where I doubt they will be teaching Hindu culture,,forget Shivaji or Tanaji.This shows his hypocrisy & double standards.
Learn their language and respect yours, don't become a Englishman and lose your real identity.
