English as link language is gaining strength: Study

A recent research shows that though Hindi is the dominant language of India, English as a link language is "gaining strength". Their study concludes that the probability of two Indians being able to converse in a common language has increased from 0.18 in 1971 to 0.23 in 2011. The proportion of children studying in English almost doubled from 12% to 23% between 2007-08 and 2017-18.
