In India you speak english ? I know that we had our colony there until Gandhi, but I thought that hindi took english's place since that time.
Which cave are you living under? Indians are one of the Good English speakers in the World.I think we have come to a point where you'd find beggars in India begging in English nowadays also they accept cards from what I have seen.
That they speak English correctly don't surprise me at all, considering their past, but what surprise me is that they speak in English in the Indian sub-forum rather than speaking Hindi.
