Why has english become so popular in india? Give at least three reason?
Answers
the main reason is because the British ruled India for so long. English was spread around the world ultimately because of the British Empire. If it hadn’t existed, it simply wouldn’t have happened.
English has always been a language of colonisation/invasion. Even in Britain, it was brought here by the Anglo-Saxon invaders in the 5th century, from continental Europe. The British didn’t speak English before the Anglo-Saxons invaded.
Is it linguistic slavery? I suppose you could call it that, however it’s a bit extreme. English got where it is because of history. Slavery isn’t implemented by a language, it’s implemented by people. The world’s lingua franca could have just as easily been Latin - had the Roman Empire not fallen, or perhaps even Spanish, if English hadn’t been around.
