Best Answer

The British introduced the English Language as well as the western system of education in India. They did so during their rule over India in the 19th century. This was done so that the Indians were moulded according to the British needs and were able to serve the government. Thus, the British could have able officers at a low expense rather getting those from England. Therefore, English was introduced in India.
