I was there at about 5pm right in the front observing LKY, Dr. Toh Chin Chye & others seated on the lorry (which acted as a platform complete with loud speakers). When LKY shouted: ‘Merdeka’ (which means ‘Independence’), I shouted the loudest I could. All others did the same. The whole atmosphere was electrified. We were all mesmerized by his charisma & presence – that fearless presence, infused with total dedication & passion to & for his country – Singapore. 2 On Sept 9th 1963 (I was then 13 years old), LKY shook my hand. There were thousands at Towner Road. He came by to garner support for a snap National election. His hand was very warm (I reasoned that he shook so many hands that day & the friction must have produced the heat). My home at Lorong Limau was about 5 minutes’ walk from Towner Road. Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:4 April 2015 Jimmy Teo LEE KUAN YEW - Gratefully Remembered 1 3 On that same 9.9.63’s evening, I followed him with the crowd until about reaching the end of Towner Road (nearing Balestier Road). I was there when he was pushed into the monsoon drain. Someone give him a hand & quickly pulled him up. The drain was quite shallow & about 6 feet wide. The person who pushed him, a middle age Chinese person, was Mr. Foo (from the Singapore Business Houses Employees Union/Singapore School Canteen Vendors Association whose office was fronting the drain). It all happened so fast. LKY was athletic & agile. He was unhurt. 4 About 40 years ago, I asked the late Mr. Lee Chin Koon, father of LKY (we were members of the same club - Singapore Swimming Club) that some people told me that he & LKY were not in good terms. Mr. Lee Chin Koon looked at me firmly & said: ‘What does people know about us? Every morning without fail, he serves me drink* with both hands.’ At that moment, I was very touched to know that LKY was such a filial son. I wonder how many of us do that for our parents. (*I could not remember the drink he mentioned but most likely milo, tea or coffee). 5 Despite being mildly dyslexic, LKY also had a shorter tongue. He had to make special efforts to speak. Yet, he was an Orator Par Excellence. Over at a dinner party at the American Embassy in Singapore (about 1979), the Ambassador came to me & said: ‘Jimmy, your Singapore is a tiny nation. But when Lee Kuan Yew speaks, the world listens’. I was so proud of Singapore. 6 When I was at the Istana/Sri Temasek where LKY & family would spent their day & most evenings, I was so surprised to see his exercising shed. It was very simple, wooden planked painted white & aerated by chicken wire at the upper end. There were about 4 machines (2 rowers & 2 Tunturi cycling machines – all manual, basic, old but workable). The chicken wires reminded me of the old Kampung days. It was so simple, so archaic, so revealing of its user. 7 About 16 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from the Prime Minister Office. It was in response to my letter to him to tell him that I am his ardent follower to the core. I stopped at 2 kids as per his suggestion. That email was from LKY. As we all know, LKY was very frugal with his words. For me, he wrote 3 sentences. I memorized them & could repeat them verbatim: ‘Dear Jimmy. Thank you for your warm words. This is to wish you, your family & your 2 sons, the best. Lee Kuan Yew’ Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:4 April 2015 Jimmy Teo LEE KUAN YEW - Gratefully Remembered 2 Singaporeans Must be grateful & thankful To Lee Kuan Yew & his team. We cannot take our current success, prosperity & peace for granted. We must aspire to be the best, and better all the time. Continuing the Legacy of LKY And Be the best. ================================================================ Jimmy Teo The Arc @Tampines Singapore [email protected] Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:4 April 2015 Jimmy Teo LEE KUAN YEW - Gratefully Remembered 3 ================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 15:4 April 2015 ================================================================== Effectiveness of Role Play in Enhancing Communication Skills of English Language Learners Ammu Maria Ashok, M.A. ==================================================================== Abstract Language teaching in India mainly focuses on the learning process rather than the teaching of the language. The emphasis is only given on the linguistic competence of the language learner not on the development of the communicative ability of the learner. The absence of a suitable environment for using the language, the failure to use appropriate teaching aids and techniques along with the ignorance of latest developments in English Language teaching among teachers aggravate the situation of English language teaching and learning in India.

Department of Anthropology & Tribal Studies, Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, Purulia, West Bengal, India. Corresponding author: [email protected] keywords abstract Census data, India, Literacy, The present paper is based entirely on secondary sources of information, mainly drawn Tribal, West Bengal from the 2001 and 2011 Censuses of India and West Bengal. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the present literacy trends of the ethnic communities of West Bengal, and comparing the data over a decade (2001 – 2011). The difference between male and female has also been focused. The fact remains that a large number of tribal women might have missed educational opportunities at different stages and in order to empower them varieties of skill training programmes have to be designed and organised. Implementation of systematic processes like Information Education Communication (IEC) should be done to educate communities. Introduction The term, tribe, comes from the word ‘tribus’ which in Latin is used to identify a group of persons forming a community and claiming descent from a common ancestor (Fried, 1975). Literacy is an important indicator of development among ethnic communities. According to Census, literacy is defined to be the ability to read and write a simple sentence in one’s own language understanding it; it is in this context that education has to be viewed from a modern perspective.

  • Tribes in India
    SIXTH SEMESTER (HONS) PAPER: DSE3T/ UNIT-I TRIBES IN INDIA Brief History: The tribal population is found in almost all parts of the world. India is one of the two largest concentrations of tribal population. The tribal community constitutes an important part of Indian social structure. Tribes are earliest communities as they are the first settlers. The tribal are said to be the original inhabitants of this land. These groups are still in primitive stage and often referred to as Primitive or Adavasis, Aborigines or Girijans and so on. The tribal population in India, according to 2011 census is 8.6%. At present India has the second largest population in the world next to Africa. Our most of the tribal population is concentrated in the eastern (West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand) and central (Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh, Andhra Pradesh) tribal belt. Among the major tribes, the population of Bhil is about six million followed by the Gond (about 5 million), the Santal (about 4 million), and the Oraon (about 2 million). Tribals are called variously in different countries. For instance, in the United States of America, they are known as ‘Red Indians’, in Australia as ‘Aborigines’, in the European countries as ‘Gypsys’ , in the African and Asian countries as ‘Tribals’. The term ‘tribes’ in the Indian context today are referred as ‘Scheduled Tribes’. These communities are regarded as the earliest among the present inhabitants of India. And it is considered that they have survived here with their unchanging ways of life for centuries. Many of the tribals are still in a primitive stage and far from the impact of modern civilization.
