Abstract
Introduced by the British colonization and today the official language of the Indian Nation in association with Hindi, English is spoken as a second language by a minority of the educated population of 8 to 11% according to current estimations. English as a language in India has an archive of about three hundred years. It existed in India with the entrance of the British on the Indian coasts. English as a language from that time until now has a substantial journey in the Indian subcontinent. People from different religions, communities, and cultures have attempted to adopt English for many reasons. Consequently, in the present context,we cannot think our life is comfortable in India without English. English in India is a symbol of people’s aspirations for quality in education and fuller participation in national and international life. Therefore it is the need of the hour to understand the history and evolution of English in India as well as to review how we are progressing with the English language and the same is being highlighted in this research paper.
