The English language, which is not our mother tongue, is most widely and affluently spoken in India. We have 5,600 newspapers, 35,000 magazines published in over 21 languages for a population of 125 crores. We are the third largest nation in the world of doctors, engineers and scientist. We possess the third largest army in the world.
