directions: Take a look at it once.
The context: The article emphasizes the need invest in translation to and from Indian languages and ethics education in schools and colleges.
Importance of translation:
- Translation holds the hand with science, philosophy, medicine, sociology, religion, and gender and caste studies
- Translated texts silently open doors to different experiences: It makes readers aware of experiences, feelings and situations completely different from their own.
Importance of language in education:
- Languages are linked with the culture and history of their region of origin.
- bright thoughts who inspire people to a better life are expressed through this medium.
- Language facilitates rules and movements:
- Convoluted rules that can remotely control words
- Supporting a movement for generations.
Steps to follow :
- Need for value education: For national understanding, because the local ignorance about ourselves and our country is staggering (surprising)
- Remove indifference to people different from us: This can be changed by training teachers committed to promoting peace and equality to hold values education classes through translated works.
- Literature can shed light on aspects of our lives that are not addressed by politics and economics.
- India at 100 must focus on soft powers: the language of peace, and our multilingualism
