English Ka Desi Student
Decades ago, all schools in Jatland areas were Govt.-run schools where Hindi used to be the medium of instruction. English, as a subject, was taught from 6th standard onwards. In those days, students were required to translate from English to Hindi and those who were skilled in translating, were considered to be brilliant.
After introduction of English language from the primary school level and opening of so-many “English-medium” schools, the situation has changed and students are now required to translate from Hindi to English.
A school teacher asked his students to translate the following sentence into English:
“Karey-Karaye pe paani pher diya”
A “bright” student translated it as under:
“After urinating, he pulled the chain and flushed it down.” !!!
