So, why drive an auto when you can take up part-time jobs in offices? “I would like to do that sometime, but I cannot speak English. I barely understand the language because I studied in Tamil medium,” she says.

consider this:

There is a visible cultural dilation on Chennai streets, once famously protective of all things Tamil. Five years ago, Arumugam, a 55-year-old auto driver from Ambattur, would have told you off if you asked him for directions in Hindi. Today, he parks his auto on the bustling North Usman Road and calls out to people: Kahan jaana hai? (Where do you want to go?) "It helps to know basic Hindi — kitna (how much), kam (it's not enough), dur (far), aa jao (come)," says Arumugam. - See more at: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/chennai-says-it-in-hindi/830371/0#sthash.oQSxSRvQ.dpuf

English is taught as a subject in schools as well as in B.Com. That's how I learnt English. My medium of instruction was Tamil.

Nobody forced her to study B.Com. in Tamil. There are more B.Com. seats available in English medium than in Tamil medium. May be her school grades are too low to get into English medium B.Com. Thank TN government that there is Tamil medium B.Com. that would admit her.

It is fashionable for some people to blame Tamil for everything. "I do not have a job because my school did not teach Hindi." You can get a diploma in Hindi by mail for a mere Rs. 50 (subsidized heavily by the Indian government).
