When Shailesh Lodha Defended A Boy’s Poor English

Isiliye Agar Koi Angrezi Poori Tarah Se Theek Nahi Bol Raha Hai Toh Hume Hasne Ka Koi Adhikar Nahi Hai. Kya Dikkat Hai? Aur Main Kehta Hoon Deepak Galat Angrezi Bolo. Khoob Bolo. Un Logon Ne 200 Saal Tak Hamari Matribhasha Galat Boli Hai. Hum Aata Hai, Hum Jaata Hai, Hum Khata Hai, Hum Peeta Hai (It’s not a problem, English is not our national language. So, if someone is struggling to talk fluently in English, we don’t have any right to laugh at them. What is the problem? And Deepak, I would say that you speak English even more incorrectly. The Britishers have spoken our national language wrong for 200 years).”
