What are the drawbacks and benefits of using English as a national language in India? Might it help or hinder unity? Would it increase or decrease India's links to the contemporary world?

One advantage to using English as a national language is that it can serve as a lingua franca; however, some groups fear that the spread of English (and with it, Western culture) may serve as a form of cultural imperialism. The widespread promotion of English may (and has) increased India's links to the global economy; however, it can possibly hinder unity, especially if some areas benefit at the expense of others.
