Education: Through Gujarati Medium or English Medium?

            The talk of the day, Education: should be given through mother language or English language? Many Educationalists have pondered over this fact and there are only two Poles as the answers to this question. First, Education should be given into English medium in order to compete with today’s world. Second, no doubt English should be taught as a subject but the medium of instruction must be Gujarati.

            There is an idiom in Gujarati that “I like Gujarati because my mother speaks it” [“Mane MatruBhasha Game Chhe Karnke Mari Mata Te Bole Chhe”] Another proverb says that, “A child should be taught in the medium in which he dreams”

            But we have to think seriously over it. Many issues have thrown in order to meet the present world’s needs. And today for a man, in order to achieve his goal and his job to earn livelihood, must have basic knowledge of English language. English knowing men are highly admirable, required and industrial-need to adjust with the work. We can compare two different persons having knowledge of English and not having knowledge of the same. The person who knows English will be easily workable with computers and other technologies, where as the insufficient knowledge of English leads a man to the difficulties with whatever document and instrument come with English. All over the world English is acceptable as the language of communication. English is a linguafranca of the world. Even at the domestic levels the entrance of foreign companies and exchange of trade English becomes highly popular and favourable language.

            Now, let’s ponder over Gujarati language. It is very important for every Gujarati to be able to know, to speak, to write and communicate in Gujarati language. There are some instances that an English medium studied Gujarati student don’t know Gujarati or unable to read and communicate in Gujarati. He only knows is Hindi and English! Now we have to decide whether to admit a child into Gujarati medium or English medium? The history of Gujarati deals with Gujarati Bhasha. The political leaders of Gujarat recommended “Swadeshi Clothes” and to depend on ourselves. Then how can we so miserable that we can’t understand even our Matrubhasha (Mother Tongue) Gujarati? No doubt English is inevitable in 21^st century but it is not that much cost that separates us from our roots. Gujarat and Gujarati Bhasha are our root and mother. How can we so unlawful to our soul? And there are many examples and inspirational leaders and personalities who have proved that English medium is not necessary to stand forth as the leading power. Mahatma Gandhi learned in Gujarati medium school became the barrister and national leader and Father of Nation, Sardar Vallabhbhai patel, Narendra D Modi is the new Prime Minister of India, is the latest instance for these real facts. There are many other personalities who have their mother tongue other than English, yet lead the life with success and have glorified various honourable posts and positions. So we must understand now that, “English is important but not English medium”

The Problem of Faith

The short story “Young Goodman Brown” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne has two main characters as we regard, Young Goodman Brown and Faith, his wife. The story is a symbolic story as Hawthorne uses very effective symbols in his works; we should not ignore the use of various colors in this story.

At the very beginning moment of the story we came to know that Young Goodman Brown going to somewhere and his wife Faith don’t want him to go for that night. The discussion falls in some romantic way but ultimately Faith has to give up and Goodman goes for the said journey.

Now, here is the question that what is the aim of the journey? And where it takes Goodman and why Goodman’s wife Faith wants to keep her husband at home that particular night and doesn’t want him to go for the said journey?

The questions are important. One more question is arises here “Who is Faith?” or “The problem with Faith” Hawthorne talks about faith but is it actually Young Goodman Brown’s mortal wife or his belief? That conjoined with him forever. We have two opinions (1) Mortal wife (2) Belief. As the story begins we feel that if there is a romantic discussion between him and his loving wife, who doesn’t permit her husband to go on a said journey. Likewise in a Gujarati poem “Gulabi Nahi Java Dau Chakari re…” But here Goodman goes for the said job or journey.

Young Goodman Brown has two “Faith”. First is his wife with a pink ribbon and other is his belief – faith. Here we understand that there is a conflict between Good things and Evil things. Young Goodman Brown constantly attracted by the good and evil one after another. He, inwardly, doesn’t want to go in the dark, dreadful forest, his soul and mind constantly thinking of Faith. But the sinful evil element attracts him to go to the forest. Then he meets a traveler, with a huge staff…the staff also symbolized as black-snack, whenever Young Goodman Brown thinks of Faith, the black-snack helps him to go forward in the woods. Whenever he meets the people, to whom Young Goodman Brown know in the town, It helps Young Goodman Brown to hide him, when the Goody Closey came, the traveler said him to go behind the woods and Young Goodman Brown hideously, hears and watches the conversation between the traveler and the old Goody Closey. He knows her as a teacher who taught him catechism in youth and as a pious and spiritual lady.

We find here that everyone want to hide himself from each other in order to save their personnel sinful deeds. Everyman in the world makes mistake and that is why he is not the one who looks good, moral, pious, spiritual and everything than can come into godly category, but eventually in loneliness, solitary the same person loses his own faith and do some sinful deeds. Now here the question come that what about the “Faith”. Is it a falsehood that every social person has to wear? Or is it truly heavenly thing?”

“With heaven above and Faith below,

I will yet stand firm against the devil”

            Young Goodman Brown somewhere feels that his own wife Faith also one of the people whom he meets in the town, he shouts for her but she doesn’t answer. This creates doubt for his wife.

“My Faith is gone…”

The contrast between moral and immoral conduct runs throughout the story in Young Goodman Brown’s mind. When Young Goodman Brown meets the dark, shadow proposes him,

“Evil is the nature of mankind”

            He glanced in the basin full of red liquid, he then doesn’t able to look the world, the way he habituate before. Means with every try of Faith, still Young Goodman Brown passes through the sinful way and in order to know about the secrete of guilt of others he too loses his faith upon his Faith(Wife). The next morning when he come to the town, the same people he regularly shown, are different for him today, because he has new eye.
