Dev boro dis dium. Well, it’s Konkani. And I am sure this is the right way of speaking it. I have studied in English medium school and I speak English fluently. But, I also speak Konkani. Though I have not mastered the language, I do know how to communicate with fellow Goans in Konkani.
Konkani always remains alive in a Goan no matter how fluently English is spoken. But recently, we have encountered unwanted issues over selection of a language as the medium of instruction in the different Goan schools. Some parents & politicians have been focusing on Konkani as the main language to be adopted from the primary level onwards. I have just one question: Are we prepared to develop backwards?
