English Language: Worlds Biggest and Greatest Brand

English Language is key to our indian economy today because all the developed nations are English Language speakers and it has become the standard language in almost every country for business...

It's a universal fact that Portuguese discovered sea route to India and they were the first to explore, settle and start trading with us(Indians), as news spread to other parts and countries in Europe the French came running(Sailing to be precise) here followed by Dutch and finally the English(British).

While Portuguese quietly settled down on the west coast of India as they had made the friendly approach with the British while Dutch voluntarily went back as Indians rejected them and French were routed by the British in the wars that followed to control the lands and trading in many commodities, the British were the people who went to the length and breadth of the country exploring rich exotic places and items that would be valued.

If the Portuguese went on to control most parts of India or as the British did till 1947 we would be in love with Portuguese language and we would always hop to Portugal, Brazil, and other Portugal controlled Colonies, Territories and Countries and we would have crazed about Pork Vindaloo and Chorizos...!!!!:)if the French would have been controlled us of course we would have made France as our new home and always shuttle between and would have made Foie Gras as our staple food...!!!:)

The uprising in northern India united the whole nation under them and if they have to retain the control they have to introduce their way of life and custom to Indians and that was English Language and Education system. Many Missionaries started schools (Educational Institutes) and that was the greatest gift to us from them!!!! Wherever they settled down, by the turn of the 20th century English was a way of life among Indians please don’t forget that Father of the nation was educated in Britain!

Today English flourishes in nations like United states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and yes in India too… even a former Prime Minister of India always addressed our nation in English but never in Hindi which is our national language!
