34 - "English IS the national language of India..."
Correct - the national language of India, by default, but not the native language of the Indians. There is no single native language, but a large number of different languages - about 80+.
English has become their default national language (which they don't usually speak at home), but the only language which they can speak to each other in which they can understand each other on a national basis.
