READ ONLY IF U HAVE PATIENCE. IT WILL BE HELPFUL.
Explanation:
The fact that English has entered our lives more deeply than would seem necessary is a trifle disturbing no doubt. The reasons are historical. We have seen many external invasions, like the Greeks, Muslims and then the British. The Greeks never were really successful in establishing themselves as a force to reckon with. They came learned from us gave some of their own ideas to us and they once and for all vanished from our social scene. Thus there are Greek influences on our art, architecture and some technical terms in Sanskrit.
Next to come were the Muslims. The early invaders were just plunderers, but in later years they settled and grew with us influence our languages, lifestyle and culture greatly.
The British invasion was more insidious. While it is true that every foreign invader was successful to establish himself due to betrayal by our own ambitious men of their brethren , British used their presence most efficiently. When they gave or say forced English language on India, did they meet with much resistance? Not at all. there were no Gandhiji type movement to throe out English Language. Whereas even today we fight among ourselves about what should be the National Language of this country, and lament over the fact that we are unable to arrive at a consensus on this. Wide differences of opinion hold sway. There are people who feel that India is a sub-continent with several rich linguistic identities and that it should be left as such. There are people who feel bad, extremely bad that we are unable to displace English, least of all from from Higher Education. Imagine unlike during the British regime when all Universities taught in English today we were successful in doing so in our regional languages, what would happen to communication between an Engineer from Bihar meeting one from Tamilnadu or Karnataka. How would they come to an understanding? It would be so for any pair of professionals from different states! Assume that these professionals are not proficient in any common language, then they will have to communicate through their respective professions symbols! Is it a possible state?
Let's say that we leave the professionals to learn and use English language and insist only political and other day-to-day matters alone be transacted in the regional languages and say Hindi. Then you have already created a class difference. that is exactly what has happened. English happens to be the language of Business and international social intercourse. Even staunch our-language-the-best language thinkers from countries with enough technical literature in all the Industrial Revolution time sciences and technologies like all the European Languages, have per force taken to learning and using English!
Indians are smart people on the whole. They know that we need to do business with the people all over the world. Even though initially foisted on us English brings in a lot of money from out there! This is one great reason why English retains the importance.
There is one more techno-historical reason for the continuance of English. That a common education system on culture-free lines was established by the British. Sadly this has brought us a lot of awareness about ourselves, the loop-holes in the spread of education to the commonest of men in our own traditional systems. perhaps a kind of may be unwanted thankfulness is also behind this preference of English. Think about this. We have our myriad cultural and religious differences- I am only referring to Sanatana Dharma here - we had our traditional logic about the supremacy of each of our cults. Before the advent of English education we would each go about fighting for supremacy of our cults ad nauseum, least realizing that it is prejudice masqueraded as unassailable logic that kept these often character-assassinating cult following. Today if there is one thing that has contributed to the abatement of that "madness" it is this thing called English education where we learned an emotion-free logic, which facilitated the dissolution of those differences to a great extent. This is the other sad but powerful reason for the existence of English in our midst. I wish that at least we reformulate this internal logic so that we could resolve our cultural, regional, and religious differences without the help of English-induced thinking!

HERE IS YOUR ANS MATE::
1:Another major reason is that India is a land of diversity. Geographical, cultural and linguistic differences are magnanimous in this country. So, two people from two different parts of the country cannot communicate with each other due to the language barrier. ... Indians needed a common language of communication.
2:English speakers are richer, more educated and more likely to be upper caste, data from the Lok Foundation survey shows
