> self-loathing elites in India
Your disdain for English-speaking Indian elites (pejoratively referred to as ‘Macaulayites’ by Modi’s supporters) is quite telling. That said, as I mentioned earlier, this kind of discourse doesn’t belong here.
My disdain is for the fact that hundreds of millions of Indians cannot access higher education in their native language, and instead of simply learning a foreign language as a subject like the rest of world, they have the bear the burden[1] of learning things in a foreign language which they have to simultaneously learn. I have disdain for the people responsible for this mess. I do not have any disdain for any language-speaking class, specially not one which I might be part of.
