Read the passage and answer the following questions.

The success that has been achieved in recasting Indian life and thought, has been due to the English language as much as the new type of culture from the West. It is significant that Indian writers and speakers have won world-wideadmiration for their mastery of English and for their facility in using a foreign language, even in the most advanced forms of literature as if it were their mother-tongue.In view of the changes proposed in the position of English in the educational system of India, it is essential to have a clear idea of its services to this country. Apart from this contribution, as a medium of higher education and as the language of administration throughout India, to the growth of cultural unity and national consciousness, it has enabledIndians to appreciate a great world-literature. This has, in the past, a most simulating effect upon literary creation in almost every regional language in India. English has also been the medium through which the literatures, scientificthought, and philosophical speculations of continental Europe and of America have reached Indian intellectuals. Ignorance of English therefore must entail, for a long time to come, the risk of being unfamiliar with the latest thoughtcurrents of the world, and of intellectual isolation.
