over the years , i have noted that biharis in india and the white people in the world binge on grammar like hell. in fact, their attachment to grammar is visceral. going by how they view grammar, one can easily get compelled to the conclusion that grammar is kind of a force that not only governs the world but also acts as a transcendental factor. every human being is nollen vollens subject to it and there is no escape from it under any circumstances. this a frightening situation and this only shows their incapacity to understand the simple process of language learning. language happens first and grammar is an after-thought. learning of a language is a spontaneous and joyous process and it does not need rules and regulations. when organised in a legal manner, language learning turns into a nightmare. i have seen countless biharis unnecessarily struggling with grammarical problems and squandering their precious student time. i am feeling sleepy so i will resume writing my views tomorrow.
