| | Contrary to Ramachandra Guha’s
arguments (“The Rise and Fall of
the Bilingual Intellectual”, EPW,
15 August 2009), bilingualism
(actually multilingualism)
thrives in Indian theatre. And
perhaps when children are
comprehensively schooled in the
vernacular at the primary level,
bilingualism (English and an
Indian language) is more likely to
take root.
