In an increasingly globalized world, English has emerged as one of the primary languages of global communication. The influence and dominance of English are evident in the realms of popular culture, media, science and technology, and commerce, to name a few. In this context, India is considered to have an English advantage over countries such as Japan, China, and even parts of Europe, as it has 125 million speakers of the English language as a first, second, or third language (Krishnaswamy and Krishnaswamy, 2006; Times News Network, 2010). This paper attempts to understand the answer to this question by conducting historical analysis of the introduction of English language education in India during the colonial period and the language policies in the education system of India at the time.
