00:03Not an either or thing.
00:05The first thing is quality.
00:08Tagore.
00:09The very pride of Bengal.
00:12Immaculate English.
00:14And which language
00:14did the Gitanjali appear in?
00:19Bengali.
00:21You know, to get the Nobel, it had to be translated
00:23so that they could understand.
00:26Not an either or thing.
00:27The first thing is quality.
00:31The first thing is that the child should be built up.
00:36The first thing is that education should be able to raise consciousness.
00:39Language comes after that.
00:43The medium of instruction comes after that.
00:45It is very important, but it is not the first thing.
00:48The first thing is consciousness.
00:50The second thing is language.
