During Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah raised concerns about language policy in schools, arguing that the increasing dominance of English and Hindi is "weakening" children's natural talents and creating distance from their cultural roots.
Siddaramaiah highlighted a contrasting approach in developed nations, where students typically study, think, and dream in their mother tongue. His comments reflect a broader debate about educational language policy in Karnataka and the role of regional languages in child development.
The Chief Minister's remarks suggest concerns that prioritizing English and Hindi over local languages may hinder cognitive development and cultural connection among students in the state.
