> Access to higher education in India is available only in English ... this creates a general differentiation, an unwritten apartheid.
I couldn't agree more. Have always felt this without being able to fully articulate what it was until now.
I've always felt having so many languages has hurt India more. I can validate that Chinese people in the west can still think about heading back to China and living in a place like Shanghai, without causing a dent to their standard of living or salary expectations. It's nowhere near true for Indian expats. At least not yet. I would argue (but can't confirm) this was part of the reason why Punit Soni went back to US (https://www.linkedin.com/in/punitsoni).
