I pondered over this one and came to this conclusion:
What binds India together is not the language (english) itself, rather the way the lexicon has adjusted itself to fit the needs of our tumultuous and rapidly changing society. I'm reminded of Mr.
Utpal Dutt and the absolutely abhorrent notions that his character assigned to the "art" of abbreviating nouns in the hit movie
Golmaal.
I say "art" when in fact, the use of abbreviations is an "acquired-art". Acquired from the west of course (hint hint: USA), in a fashion that may seem like a blatant disregard of our true colonial heritage (I don't think the English "butcher" their language the way we do). But it's all for a good cause, and necessary as well. For if we have to walk in step with the R.O.T.W. (rest of the world), we must learn to get the message across as fast as possible.
So yes, we should be proud of our innate ability to abbreviate the hell out of everything and anything and the insecure west must come to terms with this ASAP. Also, think about how much standardization has occurred due to abbreviating, we are no longer divided by the lack of a uniform platform AIADMK means the same thing all over the country and so does SMS.
Remember:
"If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world."
