This is a must-read for all concerned in implementing the plan to provide medical courses in Hindi medium. As pointed out in the article, India should certainly provide the option of pursuing MBBS and other medical courses in Hindi medium. While launching three Hindi medium books for MBBS, Home Minister, Mr. Amit Shah was right in saying that Hindi is not a competitor but a friend of all regional languages.

But the Hindi medium plan for the medical course should be well thought-out and cover all aspects of it. There should be a rich pool of translators of medical books, proficient in both English and Hindi. 

Pursuing medical courses in Hindi should help the students. It should not become a hindrance in pursuing higher medical degrees for want of study material or unavailability of research papers in Hindi. It should not be an obstacle if someone decides to practice abroad basis his/her degrees back home acquired through Hindi medium.

The article is quite enlightening and provides a much-needed perspective at this juncture. The latest initiative must not be seen only through a political prism aimed at gaining electoral mileage. Genuine intent would be needed to make the idea successful.

It is quite an in-depth piece on such an important subject.

Hindi becomes HINGLISH. MBBS becomes Munna bhai mbbs. Bed becomes bad in hospitals if we will study in hindi. This decision have taken very late after 75 years.

It's a very big joke for medical science. Bollywood becomes HINGLISH half dialogs in hindi and half English. It will take a long time to becomes MBBS and further studies in India.

Let us hope for the best.
