True, and still only about 10% of the pop really speak it properly (as opposed to understanding it). Just that they're spread all over, thereby seeming to be in large numbers.
BTW speaking Hinglish, Tamglish, Punglish, Benglish, etc doesn't count.

lol, yes ! I'm fed up of Hinglish and all other varieties of half English - half Indian language mixtures !

Bollywood must share a large portion of the blame for this !
