English is an international language and it has been widely accepted and used
in all spheres of life in India. As stated by Firth: "ELF (English as a lingua franca) is
essentially a 'contact language' between persons who share neither a common native
tongue nor a common (national) culture, and for whom English is the chosen foreign
language of communication" (240).
