How things change: There was a time when intellectuals opposed opening or expansion of private schools, engineering colleges and other professional institutions. English was to be taught only from Class VI. The middle class suffered due to such "revolutionary" ideas coming from the intellectuals. Today - the taboo towards private institutions has receded. English is back in primary schools. But will these intellectuals take responsibilty for the debacle and causing so much harm to students for over twenty years?
