Ghatotkach on English in India and its changing class character: 

So, we’ve arrived at the age of the digital remix brought on by resurgence, our place in the sun, a smaller world, technology, interdependence, money. Imitation has become a multispoker, all overlays and blends and a dose of bhangra-reggae. There is no need for compromise. The information highway is faster than any dictionary. Amartya Sen and his welfarism and VS Naipaul and Vikram Seth with their “finest” writing of the English language is cause for pride, of course. But if it’s hair you want to let down and a voice you want to call your own, let’s talk chutney and raise a cheer for the pioneering work of Salman Rushdie. He started that torrent of Hinglish exuberance- unless you want to give some of the credit to Shobhaa De in her Stardusting days.

‘Some of the credit’ should go to Devyani Chaubal, actually, and not to Shobhaa De.
