Why India's education system is losing out...

In 2007-08, India sent over 94,500 students to American universities. They accounted for 15 per cent of the total international students' population in the United States. Experts believe that in a year or two, India would lose the number one position, it has held for the last seven years, to China.

Indian students spent about $2.36 billion, or Rs 11,800 crore (Rs 118 billion) at today's exchange rate, on their education in American universities ... many students from India may have gone to study at these universities after obtaining scholarships ... If that is the case for Indian students also, then the total spend by Indian students from their own pockets would be about Rs 7,300 crore (Rs 73 billion).

It talks about the poor state of Indian education system - without once mentioing about the exclusion of large masses of people on the basis of language.

Only English speaking people allowed into Indian higher education system!!
