Many more are exposed to English regularly .Even though the spread of English set in well before the seventeenth century, it was in the wake of the British Empire that English started to move from England, its original home, across the world with those who settled abroad for commercial, religious and political reasons. In India, English has been in use for more than four centuries. India has grown into the third largest producer of English books in the world.
