Evidence  1) The fact that English is used in India for educational purposes prevents Indian people from being creative and makes us lose our own identity;  2) The tremendous gap between the rich and poor is the main obstacles for India to save itself, unless the rich strip themselves of their jewellery and hold it in trust for their countrymen.
