it is necessary to establish a standard language in India, so everybody will be able to communicate as literate people do.

in India, English, initially, was an instrument of domination; now it is regarded as a cultural heirloom and, as such, must be preserved at any cost. Users should be aware that language does not belong only to a certain group of individuals, but to the whole nation.

the use of any language varies according to needs and motivations of its speakers. Therefore, any attempt at teaching a second language using a universal approach is suspect because it will not take in consideration local sociopolitical, educational and communicative needs.

India faces, nowadays, a linguistic dilemma: it wants the literacy and westernization associated to the English language, but, at the same time, the country is too diverse to adopt a single norm.
