English is not a language
It is a symbolic expression of Modern times.
English /ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ/ ( listen) is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now a global lingua franca.[4][5] Named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to England, it ultimately derives its name from the Anglia (Angeln) peninsula in the Baltic Sea. It is closely related to the Frisian languages, but its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages, particularly Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as by Latin and Romance languages, particularly French.[6]
Spreading of English in India
English language public instruction began in India in the 1830s during the rule of the East India Company (India was then, and is today, one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world[18]). In 1835, English replaced Persian as the official language of the Company. Lord Macaulay played a major role in introducing English and western concepts to education in India. He supported the replacement of Persian by English as the official language, the use of English as the medium of instruction in all schools, and the training of English-speaking Indians as teachers.[19] Throughout the 1840s and 1850s, primary-, middle-, and high-schools were opened in many districts of British India, with most high schools offering English language instruction in some subjects. In 1857, just before the end of Company rule, universities modeled on the University of London and using English as the medium of instruction were established in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. During subsequent Crown Rule in India, or the British Raj, lasting from 1858 to 1947, English language penetration increased throughout India. This was driven in part by the gradually increasing hiring of Indians in the civil services. At the time of India's independence in 1947, English was the only functional lingua franca in the country.
This above is only history of an evaluation of English in India. Today in India English is almost an Official language in Corporate, Education system, hospitality industry, tourism, even in small town, medium scale industries.
Today we have accepted English as an official language in our Daily life. Metropolitan, cosmopolitan environment, high class society, hospitals, restaurants are serving in English only.

English is now essential in daily life, but it’s upon us how to behave in over English crowded environment. As I said ‘’ it’s essential but not necessarily essential. We can’t ignore the importance of English. But we can preserve our local languages by not making fun of it. Don’t make necessary requirements for English in our daily life.
