I don’t know what difference second and third languages made to our lives. I struggled with Hindi in high school because I ran out of my small repertoire of Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar songs to borrow from. The average city Indian speaks three or four languages and has a nodding acquaintance with a couple more. Most of my fellow-students found second and third languages irrelevant to their future careers. But such things become clear only in later life. It is the choice that is important.
