19. Conclusion
The evidence of the influence of the British Raj is still present in India. English remains one of the main official languages. Moreover, India is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world. The positive aspect is that the colonial era gave rise to the aspirations towards democracy that are now integral to the life of the subcontinent's population.
