For: Learning multiple languages at an early age helps kids to know about their culture, states, country and above all unity in diversity. Young minds grasp things very quickly. Anything that is taught in childhood will remain with them forever. Many states in India have their regional languages taught in their schools. Secondly, Hindi being a national language and English being a globally accepted language gives kids an upper hand when compared to rest of the world who only has one or two languages.
Against: Learning many languages in academics also seem unnecessary as it only burdens them. In India, students are already overburdened with studies right from an early age. Their heavy school bags give rise to many diseases. Ideally they should be taught only Hindi and English which will benefit them in future. Education should not be confined to few subjects but ethics, integrity and humanitarian should also be taught from early age.

It is extremely important for any individual to have sound know how of your mother language. If they are not good in their native language it can create trouble for them in their own country or overseas. If a country attacks another country and takes its people captive, then it is very important to have good knowledge of language. This is because the attacking country will not know your language and you can always make planning and dodge them. However, today almost all countries have accepted English as their primary language for communication. But in previous century of invasion and slavery this problem was severe and imposing language was a natural thing.
For example – Pondicherry, where the French East India Company had imposed the people to learn French.

Franz a little boy like many other French citizens had little or no interest in their native language. When he came to know about government orders, he felt pity for all French people. He started thinking that this rule can only run on humans. He thinks so because his eyes fall on a pigeon sitting outside the classroom and he is forced to think if such law can be enforced on animals and birds. The answer was certainly NO because they aren’t slaves, they have no enmity with anyone and they were free to roam across any borders. Then why such compulsion on humans. All such thoughts disturbed him.
