THE
ENGLISH-SPEAKING WORLD.
BY EVELYN WRENCH.
TWO readers of the. Spectator in India have written to me asking why it is that so few references to the Indian Empire have appeared in these notes. The writers raise an important point, namely : Can we consider India as part of the English-speaking world ? It is certainly true to state that English is being spoken more and more with each succeeding year in India, and under these circumstances we may, I suppose, include it in our weekly survey. I shall therefore, in the future, endeavour to make amends and wherever occasion demands it comment on Indian affairs. Despite our natural absorption in domestic problems, Indian matters are likely to occupy a very considerable amount of our attention in the near future.
