There are hundreds of different languages in India but Hindi remains the national language. Only a small part of the population knows English. And when they do, you will find difficult to understand it due to a strong Indian accent.
I didn’t learn Hindi. Big mistake… Even on the campus where everyone knows English, students use to speak in Hindi together. Even if you are in the group… They start speaking in English and they unconsciously switch to Hindi. Quite frustrating…
Be aware that the non verbal language is also really important in India.

Hello buddy, 350 million people in India speak fluent English, (that is probably more than the total population of several countries put together). When one is in Germany one has to speak German, French in France, Spanish in Mexico, likewise speak Hindi in India.
Not really sure about this. Hindi might have worked on the IIMB campus and the tea stall wallahs outside who do biz with the IIM students but in Bangalore city... Being a Bangalorean i can categorically state most denizens of my city would speak Hindi as well/badly as you would, try Kannada. In the South English is a better bet than Hindi, i.e. if you can't speak Kannada, Tamil, Telegu or Malyalam in the respective states.
Ma'am, need to correct your stats... LOL.... India has larger English specking population than even China... I request you to provide a correct picture to your reader....
HOPE YOU WILL HEED ON MY ADVICE....
