Datta: Churchil-bab why primary education in English? If your daughter starts 
studying english in 5th std will she not be good in english by the time 
she graduates?
 
Churchill: True. She will be good in english and she will get good job also. 
But I am not bringing in english for my daughters. It is for Carmoncars.
 
Datta: How are Carmoncars different from your daughter?
 
Churchill: Arre, You know I am bringing these 800 flats of Raheja in Carmona. 
These flats will be owned by wealthy Delhiwallas. They know only Hindi or 
English. Now,if Carmocars do not know good english or Hindi, Delhiwallas will 
not employ Carmoncars.
 
Datta: But Carmoncars can be good in English (like your daughter) by the time 
they graduate.
 
Churchill: Tuka sozmona. Arre, I donot want Carmoncars to graduate. I want them 
to stop studying before they pass 10th. 
 
Datta: Why? What is the problem if Carmoncars graduate?
 
Churchill: If they graduate they will have to be jobless.
 
Datta: You mean graduates would be jobless and 10th fail will have job? How?
 
Churchill: Raheja has made it clear that they will pay well. But strictly no 
higher educated. Maximum 10th pass. 7th pass is preferred.
 
Datta: What is Raheja's problem with graduates?
 
Churchill: Jobs in Raheja complex are for guards, cooks, maid-servents, 
drivers and gardeners etc.  
 
Datta: But will Carmona graduates (if they are jobless) mind to be gauards?
 
Churchill: Carmoncars would not mind. But Delhiwallas mind. Because, Carmoncar 
Graduates; chod subez te. Raheja feels they will not stick to the job. Also, 
graduate means more greed and therefore Raheja suspects thefts by these 
graduates.  
 
Datta: Oh! This is the problem. So english medium at primary is a must for 
those who will have to discontinue study before SSC, to get jobs in Raheja 
Complex.
 
Churchill: Bore late petli mure tuji light. Not only Raheja. Soglea gated 
complexani hech. It is in the interest of Goans and their employment that we 
encourage students to drop out at school level and make English medium 
compulsory at primary level.
 
Datta: But, how about one who wants to be a doctor, engineer or scientist? 
 
Churchill: Tenchei aami choila. Techea pasun ami Konkani medium chalu 
dovortolle.
 
Till this day Datta had thought: Higher the education, better are job/career 
prospects.
Today Datta started writting a new book: Job oriented education for Goa
 
Datta also phoned Bhaskar and said: Fudlea career guidance seminarak Churchilak 
resource person mhun vor. 
 
PS: This is pure fiction. The characters are imaginay. Any resemblence to 
living ones pure coincidence. Motive: pure humor. No view on medium of 
Instruction intended to be forced on anybody.
