Thank you very much for this article. Information about the usage of
the languages of India in different social contexts, and especially in
education, is very useful for my work.
The impression that I had about the state of local languages in India
is that English is used a lot even though not everybody knows it
sufficiently. This articles more or less confirms this impression and
substantiates it with data. It was also very interesting to read about
the concept of "homolinguality".
I can't say this strongly enough: I'd love to see more research of
this kind coming from Wikimedia India, CIS, and other organizations in
the field.
