Many Indian words are already in Oxford dictionary. As long as grammar is correct and you use the words commonly used and understood by all, there is no problem. English is link language and so the vocabulary used should be common to all. Using too many words of local languages will destroy the usage of English as a link language.

Indians have their own way to speak english and there are so many words and sentences which can be understood by only an indian whether they are not exited in dictionary like prepone or do one thing.
If you speak in a way only Indians can understand, this will be good enough. But the purpose of speaking in English will be defeated if only Punjabis or only Keralites could understand as in such cases, Punjabi and Malayalam will be better alternative.

we Indians have a habit of mixing our mother-tongue into English....That is where the English language falters.......

Indian english is older english. Its accent is exactly the letter we speak. So Whatever we speak in English can be understandable clearly but the other countries English speaking is accent, some time we cannot even understand their English.

Would you believe me sir that in a recent survey in UK, they found that average British youth loose jobs to Indians and that is not because Indians are available for lesser pay but for their better English knowledge than Britishers. Surprising?

yes sunil this is really surprising. Our English has a mother tongue influence . that is why people can easily find our we are from India by our language. So that why we need to work out on our accent, especially people who are in communication field

This is a good word that Britishers also don't know good English even it is their mother tongue. I think this is the reason why attacks are increasing in other countries.

Indians may speak or write English better than British. This is not surprising. Once, British minister attempted to ridicule V.K. Krishna Menon over some mistake in English. V.K Krishma Menon retorted- I learnt English in college and not picked up in street unlike you.

This is true about all. We also speak and write our mother tongue much worse than the foreigners who learn in college. Some Europeans also learn Hindi. There are many foreign students in Hindi Shikha Sansthan Agra. They speak better Hindi. This is because they learnt in institution and not picked this in street.

What is wrong with British is that they have become lethargic and do not make efforts to learn anything. Hence their knowledge of English is also affected. What they speak is not standard or Queen English but this is cockney and slang. This is like many of Indians who have not gone to college but speak the local language- Hindi or any- as they picked at home or street. Personally, i am Punjabi speaking but do not know how to read and write in this language. Thus, I may speak in Punjabi as I learnt at home or from relatives. This must be different from Punjabi taught in school.
