Language has been considered to be the tool of human communication from very beginning everywhere and all the times. It is because of its importance that language is looked at as great phenomena in field of human science. As a modern International Language, English language has to be given enough space in modern study as phenomenon that is connected to socio-political -cultural contexts. It needs to be studied from different angles. In India, English language is considered to be a second language as many other countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc. In a country like India that has a multi culture, multiple languages and religion, it has always been necessary to have a second language to function as lingua-franca or linking language. As Sanskrit was more than a language. It was assigned the political function of achieving cohesion among the upper-caste élites. Now English can have the same significance to do in the present. It is a must that Indians use English as a mean of exclusion and an instrument of cultural hegemony. It is to be taught for all people under equal condition and with the most modern and up-to-date methods.
