We Are Students Not Lab Rats — The Three Language Policy

Multilingualism is admirable It broadens perspectives & creates opportunities However good intentions alone don't make good policy A policy succeeds only when the infrastructure exists Today it doesn't

We refuse to become test subjects We are students not lab rats

The greatest burden falls on rural schools Thousands already struggle to hire Maths & Science teachers Expecting them to suddenly find teachers for another language is unrealistic

We refuse to receive an inferior education simply because we were born in a rural area

Government should build infrastructure train teachers & ensure equal access before making the policy compulsory Instead schools are told to somehow manage & students bear the burden

There's no genuine choice While several languages are officially allowed many schools offer only Sanskrit because they lack teachers

A choice that only exists on paper isn't a choice

Is education still preparing us for the future?

Sanskrit is one of the worlds greatest classical languages & deserves preservation But heritage alone can't justify making it the default for millions Communication creates opportunities While Sanskrit has academic value it's rarely used outside an exam

If Sanskrit is one option among many there is no objection The problem begins when it becomes the only practical option

Calling English a foreign language ignores reality India has the worlds largest English speaking population English connects states & drives global STEM business research & higher education By that logic it'd also be foreign in nations like the US Canada & Australia

Education should prepare students for the world they'll actually enter not the one policymakers imagine

Students are already buried under exams Adding another compulsory subject without solving the teacher shortage only increases the burden

Build the classrooms Train the teachers Give students real freedom to choose Then implement the policy Until then stop treating students like subjects in an unfinished experiment
