Since India was a British colony until 1948 and both the U.S. and
England still have a major influence there, English is widely spoken.
In fact, there are many everyday phrases in English which are part of
the spoken languages there. If you watch any Bollywood movie you will
hear many English phrases.

Besides which, it is usually the only language that speakers of the many 
indigenous lanuages have in common.

They do indeed have many phrases that are part of our every day spoken 
language although they execute with a difficult to penetrate accent.(in my 
case).
The favorite is..."I'm going to put you on hold"
They seldom return.
The music is lousy too....indigenous or not.
