Wow, a whole third of the population. Or is it a third? You folks hump too fast for us in The West to keep up with. Anyway, learn English, it's more useful. Tech support is obtuse enough without them babbling in Hindi.

Why do you think learning English would be a benefit in the modern world?

Gee, I wonder how many know at least basic English?

Of the 20+ official languages of India how many are dialects of Hindi close enough that people speaking the two languages could figure out what the other was saying?

The sad thing is he complained in the OP that not enough people spoke English then he demanded India switch to a dead language.
