Depends on the region you're looking at. Big cities obviously have a lot of English speakers. And some states like mine, Tamilnadu, have a higher percentage of English speakers than the others. Generation-wise, yep. More now than before.

Anyways, the point I was trying to make in OP was that govt education sucks in informing people about natural rights, constitutional rights, liberties and the legal system. Because the medium of instruction in govt schools are not in English.

Either the legal, administrative and judicial system ought to switch to local languages. Or public education ought to switch to English.

I'd rather have the languages switched *and* have the education system completely privatised and deregulated both at the same time.
