a sidenote on India and Hindi (not Hindu)
There are 300+ dialects (=different languages) in India
Hindi is a common language Indians learn at school. It is an official language but mother-tongue to only a part of Indians. English is also taught at school in India with almost the same importance as Hindi.
result: Almost anybody who can speak Hindi can also speak English. People who can't speak English (mostly poor uneducated people) mostly only know their respective dialect (e.g. Kannada, Malayalam,...) and not Hindi.
