It is wonderful to know many languages. I pride myself on knowing three foreign languages and half a dozen Indian languages.. this is an asset.. I can blend myself into any culture and people easily... I couldn't care less what we speak, as long as we speak the language of grace and compassion.

No Sanskrit, No Hindi , No Marathi

Every year on 25 October, Chandra Bhan and his loyal band of Dalit devotees

gather to celebrate Lord Macaulay's birthday as English Day with a hymn of praise

to the new deity, Statue of Liberty in a Sari :

"Oh Devi Ma, please let us learn English! Even the dogs understand English ."
