Video Of Elderly Woman Speaking About Mahatma Gandhi In Fluent English Is Going Viral

English is one of the most spoken languages of the world and India is among those countries where the count of English knowing people is quite high. The middle class or upper class Indians study in English medium schools so they have good knowledge of English and they are not only able to understand but can also speak in the English language quite fluently and easily.

However, there are still many Indians who are not able to speak or understand English and such people are mainly from the weaker sections of the society or from the rural parts of India. In fact, it has become a general presumption that people from rural India can’t speak in English properly.

Currently, a video is going viral on the Internet and social media in which an elderly woman who is said to be from Rajasthan is seen speaking in English and she is talking about Mahatama Gandhi. The old woman gave a good description of Bapu and she started by telling that Mahatama Gandhi was the greatest man of the world. She further said that Mahatama Gandhi was from a normal family, he used to live simple life, eat simple food and drink goat’s milk.

The elderly woman talked about Gandhi’s love for non-violence and also told that the father of the nation loved both Hindus and Muslims. Apart from this, she talked about some other things as well.

A Twitter user has shared this video with caption, “How many marks out of 10 for the old lady for this spoken English Test?” while in another tweet, he expresses desire to know how many marks the Congress leader Shashi Tharoor will give to this old woman.
