Thank you very much for this article. Information about the usage of the languages of India in different social contexts, and especially in education, is very useful for my work.
The impression that I had about the state of local languages in India is that English is used a lot even though not everybody knows it sufficiently. This articles more or less confirms this impression and substantiates it with data. It was also very interesting to read about the concept of "homolinguality". I can't say this strongly enough: I'd love to see more research of this kind coming from Wikimedia India, CIS, and other organizations in the field. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
