India was ruled by Enlish rulers and Muslim rulers. Some of the rulers were perhaps not nice to local people.
Basic difference to Muslim rulers and English rulers which I find is the basic fundamental difference to English.
Muslim rulers created Urdu language to communicate with local people. Urdu has it's roots in Arabic/Persian/Turkish but Grammer and sentence structure is pure Indian (Hindi)
This shows that it was the Muslim invaders who wanted to communicate with local Indians Where as English rulers never tried to be part of Indian culture and language.
THIS IS THE BASIC REASON WHY ENGLISH RULERS HAD TO LEAVE INDIA!

Since the sentence from Gandhi is true:
"NO CULTURE CAN SURVIVE IF IT ATTEMPTS TO BE EXCLUSIVE"
English rulers gave Indians a complexion: what ever is white is good and what ever is dark (complexsion) is not good can be seen in Hindi films till today. No actoress in Hindi film has dark complesion!
This change came after 1857 when we Indians lost to the East India company.

Today I see in termsn of globalisation:
on one hand German Industry wants all Green card holders that they should know German work culture and German language, but on the other hand the German experts and companies think that they can capture Indian market with their basic knowledge of English only.
The question is how many Indians feel comfortable in speaking English? Do all Indians speak English?
As far I know the West Bengal market is in hand of Marwaris/Gujratis. They too adopt to local work culture/local language of the region. This is one of themain reason why they have capture the regional market.
