AVOIDING WEST'S APPROVAL
ARVIND K PANDEY
“But when he once attains the upmost round ,He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend .,” says Shakespeare. Many of our intellectuals behave in this fashion once they have attained a certain stature, ignoring the demands of landscape which all these years served their needs. I am compelled to state this because those claiming to be nation-oriented are all the time hankering for seal of approval from the Westerners, even if thaty means deviation from their goals and ideals. For instance, section of people who miss no opportunity to shed tears for degradation of Hindi are the first ones to ensure that their children get admission in ‘English medium’ schools or, if possible, at institutions located in the foreign landscape. Such contradictions alone have ensured that gap between intellectuals and interests of the nation exist forever. In India, as the above-mentioned example suggests, the situation has attained an all time low, to an extent that anything Indian irks the elitist section for whom Western labels act as life-force
