The book contains scholarly writings on the status and structure of the English language and its place in the language ecology of India. It deals with the grammatical and socio-linguistic and socio-political aspects relating to the significance of English in India and evolution of Indian English. They study the different varieties of English, focusing on the importance of English in post-colonial contexts. They include attempts to question the dichotomy of ‘native’ and ‘non-native’ when speaking of varieties of English, arguing that Indian English must be seen as the native variety of its speakers. They view issues relating to multilingualism and speech community, and teaching of the standard English language or versions of it.
