Origins of English spoken in Indian accent
India is a vast country. It has 22 official languages and there are hundreds more that aren’t official, but they are spoken by the Indian people.
Hindi is the language spoken by the majority of Indian people, followed by Bengali and then Telugu and Marathi. Many Indian people are bilingual or multilingual and English is a second language for millions of them.
During the 1800s India was ruled by The East India Company, which was run by the English. The English rulers wanted all Indian people to speak English and began to use English in schools, in place of Persian. This went on through the rule of the British Raj until 1947, so that by the time India gained its independence, many Indian people spoke English. Although Hindi was then declared an official language, English continued to be used for official purposes until 1965.
England has a vast Indian migrant population and it is the most common country of birth among those who were born in India, but now reside in the UK.
Many of the Indians who migrated to the UK came from the Punjab region of India. Many Indian men served in the British army from that region and fought for Britain in the first and second World Wars. During the 50s when Britain had labour shortages, they invited the Indians to come and settle in the UK with the promise of jobs. They came to take up the promise of employment and many worked in our airports and on our public transport systems.
Bangladeshi people came to England during the civil war in Bangladesh, to escape from the war. Many of the UK’s small businesses, especially in catering, are owned by Bangladeshi’s.
