Growing Interest about Indian Languages among American Students
Indian students are interested to go to study to pursue higher education especially in business and technology. Until now, US students were not that much interested to come to India and study. However, this is change. Now, many US students are getting interested to come to India and study. They are mainly interested to study about Indian languages. Times of India reported:
There are 208 American students for this academic year pursuing studies in 12 Indian languages. These languages are Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, Oriya, Sanskrit, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali and Kannada, says Pradeep Mehendiratta of American Institute of Indian Studies (AIIS) at Gurgaon.
 
"American students take interest to study Indian languages. They use the language for doing research work in India or teach the languages in the US. Many want to do foreign service in US, while a sizable number of students are interested in doing journalism in South Asian countries," Mehendiratta says.
 
The AIIS, which has been offering language studies since 1962, has been witnessing a steady increase in the students flow. From 50 students in language studies in 2001-02 the number increased to 84 in 2003-04 and to 64 in 2004-05.”
 
So, you can see that like Indian students going to US, American students coming to India have the same motive- to have a better career. I am happy that India is becoming more attractive to US students.
