Indian English
English is India's official language
It's the second largest to manage
Indian English has won acclaim
With many authors poets to name.
Though British brought it here
We picked it up in cheer
Now we have many Indian citizens
More proficient than the Britishers.
English is official language in judiciary
Also in many states union territory
As we have many a regional language
English serves as link language.
English is popular for education
It is prevalent in communication
In seventy odd years since independence
English has gained a very wide prominence.
All name boards are invariably in English letters
Even vendors and maids use many English words
IT softwares Cell phones UPI Apps are all in English
How use of English can Indians relinquish?
Cricket is also a game British taught Indians
Now Indians have excelled in those skills
Cricket is now very much an Indian game
Why don't we include English in that frame?
