Default English - Official Language of India

I really didn't knew that English is the subsidiary official language of India. I agree we study in English medium schools, and English is being commonly spoken now but really wasn't aware that its place is considered next to Hindi. Just wondering if I am the only one who didn't knew this.

yeah it is true that we don't have a national language.. but its only because India is a country of many religions, where its people respect every religion and language.. so if we look at it this way, we have more than one national language.. and ya, its not very surprising to hear that english is the subsidiary official language..
