Interacting with journalist Kaveree Bamzai during the session ‘English and Its Accents’, she said English, as it is spoken in India, is not incorrect. When people speak English in India, they do it very well,” said the author who has taught the language in universities like Harvard, JNU and Jamia Millia Islamia. On whether English remains exclusive to the intellectuals, she said the language is no longer tough for poor who do not hesitate to speak it by confidently using some interesting words from their own language or dialect.
