Hoi,
When you adopt English as an important language for yourself, you study it
typically as a second language. Even when you get the best education and you
achieve a high level of proficiency, you will still respond better to
messages in your mother tongue in times of stress. It has also been
demonstrated time and again that kids who learn to read and write in their
mother tongue will experience a positive effect that will last them
throughout their academic life.
When schools or parents insist on teaching primary reading and writing in
English, they hurt their children. It works well to teach to read and write
in English once the basic skills of reading and writing have been learned in
the mother tongue.
When you consider the value of English for yourself, you may find benefits
because of your ability to use the English language. You have to recognise
at the same time that many other people are not able to use English as well
as you do. This is true in Britain, it is even more true when English is a
second language.
When your question is about "why having all these Indian language
Wikipedias", there are two distinct considerations. The first is that not
everyone is able to use the English language Wikipedia and prefers to get
his information in his own language. Typically people understand a text in
their mother tongue better then the same text in a second language. The
second is that the information that is important in your mother tongue is
also available in the second language.. Effectively this means that subjects
about India need to be well written in both languages if you want to argue
that you can safely use English in stead.
One other important reason for this is that you want to make sure that the
culture, the history of India is well represented so that people can learn
and experience the rich heritage of India. The most important people to
write this for; the children of India.
Thanks,

Today the world is very much in favour of adopting
english language for
various reasons but one of the strong reasons for individuals and families
is dream of financial prosperity for themselves and their children.
English language has got more storage of knowledge that helps upgrade your
skills and exposure levels, and it helps to communicate with financially
powerful to garner economic benefits like jobs etc and business.
Since long I am in search of a linguist who can confirm and a show a way to
convert worlds seven billion human population into standard english using
population and also a way for humanity to sustain and continue forever any
such achievement that humanity keeps using the same english language and
does not go over to any linguistic transformations again.
I am also in search of an economist who can confirm that demand for english
language skill is just unlimited and will ensure more and more economic
prosperity to every one even when whole of humanity is converted in to
english language speaking population
Last bust not least can medical fraternity help research and introduce an
ejection or a tablet to convert people into english language knowing people.
Here I do not want to deny role english language has played in my own life
and it is also true that I am my self benefited out of english language
skills and knowledge.
Here I would like to bring to notice of my friends that when already jobs
of even native english speaking people got banglored, what happens when
whole of Chinese population becomes proficient in english language is only
that bangloreans will be in search of new phrase may be some thing like my
job is Shanghaied
Here I remember story of king of Midas who wanted every thing to be turned
into gold, Does not this story reminds me that having too much of any thing
and for that whole world running behind a single language also may not be a
best policy and there is need of revisiting our thoughts about this aspect
of life more sensibly.
I want my friends to discuss Role, benefits and limitation of adoption of
specific language for economic growth in individual human life as well as
micro and macro economics.
Wish you all season’s greetings
