1.4 billion Indians. So what?
They're talking about native English speakers. Did you really not get that? There are also a lot of Chinese people, try yelling that out of context, also.
English is one of the official languages in India.
Even if only 1/10 of Indians grew up speaking it alongside Hindi or one of the other official languages (it's a pretty big and varied country), it still adds up to 140 million people, so the previous poster has a valid point.
this post is about native accents. choose an accent (from native accents), normal, fancy or wildcard.
sorry, I re-read your post this morning, I missed when you said "official languages" for some reason. I take your point
