ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN INDIA

 



 The English language was introduced to India in the 17th century when English businessmen came to the country as traders. Even after the British rule was over in the middle of the 20th century, English remained in use in India.

Indian Writing in English is basically started during the British rule in India . Indian writing in English began with the emergence of East India Company in India. As East India Company spread its wing through southern peninsula, English language started to get newer pockets of influence.
English-language public instruction began in India in the 1830s during the rule of the British East India Company . India was then, and is today, one of the most linguistically diverse regions of the world. 
The poetry written by the Indians in English in the last 150 years may be said to have three phases: the imitative, the assimilative and the experimental.
Thomas Babington, better known as Lord Macaulay, is the man who brought the English language and British education to India.
In 1793, Sake Dean Mahomed wrote perhaps the first book by an Indian in English, called The Travels of Dean Mahomed .
Henry Louis Vivian Derozio is considered the first poet in the lineage of Indian English poetry followed by Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, and Toru Dutt, among others.
It is the language of science, aviation, computers, diplomacy and tourism. Last but not least, it is the language of international communication, the media and the internet. Whether it is for professional or personal reasons, understanding the importance of English will help you reach your goals.
