You studied in a good school, sir. Typically government schools in India teach in the local language and the students struggle with English.

The teaching in Govt. schools in our area then (our Dist., Kangra, was a part of Punjab state at that time, before joining H.P. in mid-1960s), including the Govt. Middle School Baggli which I attended from grade / class one to eight, had Hindi as the medium of instruction throughout. Among the languages taught as compulsory subjects in Govt. schools in our area then (1950s to mid-1960s), Hindi started in grade 1, Punjabi in grade 4, and Sanskrit and English in grade 6.

It was also around that time, while still in school, I had the realization that Hindi and Urdu are not different languages but the same language written using two different scripts, the former using the Devanagri and the latter using "modified Persian" (or Urdu). One of my relatives, same age as myself and studying in another Govt. school (with similar language training in Hindi but no Urdu), spent a couple of weekends during summer learning the Urdu script on his own and immediately after that he started sending out postcards to old relatives written in Urdu (basically Hindi penned down in Urdu script). He impressed quite a few people / relatives for doing it all ("learning" Urdu) by himself in such a short time.
