It’s All English Only By Aditi Dubey
Does the title seem off to you? You think there’s a mistake there or what? But there isn’t one. Arre, really. And even if it’s thoda different, it’s still English only na? Welcome, my confused non-Indian friends, to Indian English. It’s weird and wonderful, though perhaps a little more wonderful for me and a little more weird for you. As an Indian who grew up speaking it, I think it’s obvious why it’s wonderful for me. But I think it might be interesting to look into why it’s weird for you. The most straightforward answer is that it’s different from the English that you speak.
