What about the farmers , buddy? But yes most f them were well educated and many were from Calcutta.

My thoughts: English was taught by Britishers then ... thus the fluency....

Surely they are the privileged class as most of India was poor. But again you see so much of the British accent prevailing at that time. It is safe to say that I prefer that accent to what we have currently. It is sad to see that most students still cannot speak basic English. With BJP in power this will get worst as Hindi will be preferred in the near future.

I mean no hate but nowadays everyone is fluent in English than hindi/their vernacular language in our country. We ARE forgetting our own culture in the urbanisation of the society. Well, we can develop even if we use our own languages more often than English. I am ashamed to say that I am more comfortable in eng than my mother lang ;(

Ur understanding is very superficial . There are theocracies that are progressive. Sweden is governed by Church. Atheist communist states are a total failure. You have a very narrow , wrong Nehruvian idea of everything. What religion you are talking about belongs to 5% people. 95% Hindus at least find no contradiction or enmity between religion and democracy and science. All the elements of so called revolution in society can well be traced to religion and culture also if you read things in detail. And it was Congress that MADE no code bills for muslims and there is ZERO separation of radical Islam from politics and society in Islamic countries and even in muslims of India. It was Rajiv Gandhi who overturned the 1986 Supreme court secular decision to uphold women rights to allow Mullahs to take decision. It is the Mullas and Imams that are hindrance to separation of secular life from Islam. To some extent even the pastors Seperatiion of faith from society is seen maximum among Hindus. Take Halaal meat for example. It is religious thing shoved down the throat of people of other faiths that too in secular democracy
