I was only a little sensitive about the suggestion that England, through invasion, had forced English on all our colonies. In India English was chosen (along with Hindi) as the official language simply because it was a common currency across a nation that spoke nearly 30 languages - this was also done after we left. I don't believe there is even an official language in America now - there was a rumour that they nearly voted in German at one point but I'm not sure this is true.
