Today, English is spoken by around 10% of India's population, and as best I can tell, it's the language of higher ed, corporate business, the bureaucracy, judiciary and maybe the national media. What would it take to make English spoken by 2/3 of the population (what it appears to be in Ghana)? I'm not suggesting eliminating any native language - just make English more of a lingua franca in India and make India by far the largest English speaking country in the world. I'd prefer to change as little as possible beyond that - keep India independent, etc.
