It is the lingua France, of the people from south, north, east and west of India. So Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru described English as ‘Our major window on the modern world. English is important not because a number of people know in India, English and not because it is the language of Milton and Shakespeare.

But every door of modern knowledge will be closed if we do not have one or more foreign language.​
