Why, half a century after Indian independence :

does English remain the language of higher education, national media,

India now claims to be the world's second-largest English-speaking country.

The most reliable estimate is around 10% of its population or 125 million people :

  • The 19th Century historian who introduced Western education to India, is reviled by Indian nationalists
  • The term "Macaulay's Children" is still used as a pejorative label for anglicised Indians
  • His ideas have been enthusiastically adopted today by India's Dalits - for them, English is a liberating force
  • Their saviour from caste oppression is personified as a goddess, modelled on the Statue of Liberty in a sari
