If you still do not believe me, do contact Oxford University who have a excellent Sanskrit department and they can enlighten you.

Both Sanskrit and English share a common ancestor in Proto-Indo-European. A lot of words in English are not borrowed from Sanskrit - but both diverged from a single source and borrowed heavily from it. Sanskrit is NOT the mother language of English but more of a cousin.

 

[Dr Gupta]

hmm.. two dodgy sources... what sort of dr are you..

So why not contact Oxford University, or would you say they are dodgy also?

What I most like in Germans is love for their language and father land.
ahhh I wish at least Pakistan could come out of British colonial Raj now.

Yes, the world's largest exporter and one of the most tecnically advanced didn't need English.

Germany: Language of education German, official language German.

Pakistan: Language of education English, official language English.

[Shamsher1990]

"An English-speaking Indian has native-like intuition in English, unlike a Chinese for whom English is assembled by a more academic thought process. For an Indian, English is more like an adjunct native language. We do some of our thinking in our Indian language and other things in English — that is, we have a native competence that spans two or more languages. No wonder we do so well in Toefl."

Most probably these students may have been instructed in English since childhood. No wonder! They can use English far better in an academic and professional setting than perhaps their own mother-tongue. Try this :

"A line which meets a circle at only one point is called a tangent." Try to imagine writing this sentence in your own native language purely. I bet a Chinese or Japanese student can do it. Most of English-medium educated students will have problem in finding words for terms like tangent or intercept or secant in their own language. They never learnt to use their mother tongue in an academic or technical setting.

The topic title as written by an indian member (banned at the moment) shows the level of inferiority indians have.
