India’s ‘untouchables’ to build temple to ‘Goddess of the English language’
31st October 2010
Leaders of India’s low-caste Dalits are to celebrate the opening of a temple shaped like a desktop computer to inspire “untouchable” children to improve their prospects in life by learning English.
They believe learning English will open up new opportunities for India’s 160 million Dalits in higher education and high-status government careers.
Good luck to ’em.
