is very important for any society and the country, and the New
Education Policy which is being formulated will give Hindi its due
importance, Union Minister of State for HRD, Satya Pal Singh, said on
Saturday.</span><div style="line-height:100%"><br></div>
<span>"When the education policy came in 1835, Lord Macaulay had said
that India's people will remain Indians in their looks and blood but
their thinking will be British. Whenever we escalate talks about working
for the mother tongue, things don't move forward," he said here while
addressing the gathering at an award function at the All India Council
of Technical Education (AICTE).</span><div style="line-height:100%"><br></div><div align="center"><div class="gmail-clearfix"></div>

<span>"Who were the leaders in the country who did not let Hindi get its
importance? Soon, a new education policy is coming. It is very
unfortunate that people think low of themselves if they don't know
English. Like you can't change your mother, you can't change your
language also," he said.<div style="height:0px;display:block"></div><div id="gmail-_forkInArticleAdContainer" style="width:0px;height:0px"><ins><div id="gmail-beacon_0cf7db9fc4" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; visibility: hidden;"><img src="http://wtf2.forkcdn.com/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=0&campaignid=0&zoneid=3360&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thehansindia.com%2Fposts%2Findex%2FNational%2F2018-05-05%2FHindi-to-get-due-importance-in-new-edu-policy-Satya-Pal-Singh%2F379068&referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&cb=0cf7db9fc4" alt="" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" width="0" height="0"></div></ins></div></span><div style="line-height:100%"><br></div>
