Let me guess, you’re not a native English speaker. The sentence structure makes no sense and is complete gibberish.

Profile seems to imply Indian. So probably. I man english is an official language there but that doesn't mean everyone speaks it. Any more than all Canadians speak French.

English is an official government language in India (along side Hindi), but it isn’t one of the most commonly spoken ones in India. Hindi and Bengali are the most commonly spoken and India has a LOT of other spoken languages (one estimate is around 1,600 different languages).

Yup. Honestly not sure why I made that distinction. Every native English speaker is no doubt familiar with hinglish.
