Book excerpt: English language was transplanted in India by the British rulers who ruled country more than 150 years. People believed that English is a language of Britishers and hence it must go with them. But to learn English language does not mean that people would evolve a slave mentality. In the present scenario, English language with its great literary heritage is no longer a language of particular country or a race. It has become global lingua franca. It is a medium of an international mutual contact among the natives of all over the world. It has thrown open a vast panorama of world-wide scientific, literary, cultural and political world of knowledge.
