SYNOPSIS
‘English’ has an intimate connection with the history of the Indian sub-continent. Introduced by colonizers, adopted by the Indian elite; English translates itself as the language of power in India.
English/India is a documentary on the politics of English language in India.
The film is a journey into an India caught in the trap of a language, which at times, intimidates yet makes promises of respectability and hope.
English-India will travel into the depths of a vibrant, humorous, dynamic, faltering yet hopeful India of real people in search of characters who have stories, anecdotes and victories to share about their affair with the English language.
