Why do we Indians unnecessarily speak English all the time??

and today I'm going to raise a question to you.

This is something that I have felt and observed a lot around myself

and want to know that if this is something that bothers you, too,

So this definitely bothers me.

Let me just quickly come to the point.

And this is kind of ironic coming from me because...

okay, you will know why I'm saying this is ironic.

The point is that Indians unnecessarily speak English all the time.

You're going on the road, somebody would stop you request you to stop

and ask for direction they will ask in English

then you're supposed to reply in English.

Asking a question in English would imply that

you would respond in English.

Now this is slightly difficult for people who do not know English

people who don't understand English or who are not very fluent in it

or do not have the kind of confidence to reply in English.

Now it gets awkward for those people.

I've seen that in my own mother's case.

It is slightly embarrassing.

I don't know.

It may not be embarrassing for me but it

definitely is embarrassing for her and I can see it on her face.

Because somehow we attach the status to the language

and I feel that it's...

okay... this is just my opinion.

I may not be right in your eyes here.

But, respectfully let me know if I am not right according to you

but I feel that it's slightly rude.

It's slightly rude.

If you're just assuming that you're the person would know English

because you know the kind of hype we attach in our country to this language.

And assuming the other person would know English would be like,

if they don't know it, then you're embarrassing them

most of the times in our country

looking at the person you can actually see and assume

more or less assume that

the other person would know Hindi or would not know Hindi.

Most of the times you can see it from the way they are.

I think it's easy to predict, right?
