India is a vast country and quite strange at the same time and the behaviour of its people often leaves me speechless. A few days back, I was gossiping with some people when one guy told a girl a english word which she didn't understand but also did not ask him the meaning but rathet asked me in private later. However the same guy, when he failed to understand a bengali word, did not hesitate a moment to ask its meaning.
What conveys silently through this incident is that we, Indians don't care or feel shy when we donot understand our native language but feel ashamed when we donot get to understand some foreign language as if its a must for all of us to know. This act has left me quite bewildered and I would love to change the thinking of my fellow countrymen but I seriously donot know how to achieve it?
