The paper will examine the role of English medium schools in Multan which are serving as active agents in the promotion of the Siraikis “linguistic cringe”. With the help of data collected in the form of interviews the paper will demonstrate that in these schools The Siraiki speaking students face constants dismissals, inequalities and put-downs.  This attitude coupled with ignorance of teachers/educationists about the positive results of additive bi-multilingualism proved through research is largely responsible for creating a sense of ambivalence and conflict promoting ‘Language Desertion’. In the end strategies will be proposed that can enable the school teachers and in turn parents/community members to ‘read’ the phenomenon of language shift and language loss and its full implications in order to bring about a change in the status of Siraiki language.
