Azad Hall IIT Kharagpur Kharagpur, W.B. India john galt “You study in English medium, don’t you? Yes, yes … your father studied in an Oriya school. English was also taught in his school. He would come home after school and greet me and his mother in English. Obviously, we didn’t understand a bit, but he sounded really funny … no not the village high school. This high school came up ten years ago. Very few children from this village used to study those days. There is a small town five kilometers away and your father used to study there. He and some others from the village would go to the school on foot. You don’t believe—but why? Yes, five kilometers on foot though I sometimes left him at his school on my bullock cart.
