Got a call from a Bengali Doctor and entrepreneur in the US.
If people followed your ideas on language, he said, India would mount a serious challenge to the Western anglosphere, like China today. They can't afford it. English-subservience is crucial to keeping India in place.

The biggest attack is the systematic deracination and Anglicization of our education. It constantly has Indians looking to the West, for approval, for theories, for values. This is what makes the culture "aspirational" for Indians. It corrodes self-respect and original thought.

China is projecting use of Chinese worldwide as a global power play.
There are powerful forces which don't want India to follow that path. Control over Indian minds, and supply of labor, would be at risk.
