Well... keep in mind that India, having once been part of the British Empire, English is an official language there, and it's why so many IT jobs are outsourced to India -- they're supposed to be able to speak English.
But the thing is, they have their own culture, and other languages (Hindi, and a few more that I forget), and their culture/education has changed how they use English significantly, no doubt based on the grammar patterns of their other commonly used languages.
So while in India, most can speak English, and would likely protest, if you told them they weren't doing a good job of it -- their typical use of grammar is laden with mistakes. So much so, that Hollywood generated stereotypes around it, back when no-one cared that they were actively displaying racism.
Where I live, we have a giant telephone company (a governing body gives a monopoly on traditional phone service to one company per Canadian province) that outsources all it's tech support here to India. And Canadians here HATE it, because of the way they talk.
So why should you know proper grammar?
In the business world, you lose a lot of respect, if you can't speak and write your main language properly. Now, I never
once was told that, in high school, but at least we were taught basic grammar. (There's a bunch that I forget. So when I'm not sure, I just reword it to something else I'm more sure of.) From what I can tell, at least here in Ontario, we no longer teach much of grammar at all, which is sad.
So if you're looking for a small leg-up in the business world, and you have a drive to be successful, do yourself a favour and learn all the grammar you can take in, and practise it! (And hey! These forums make an
excellent place for you to do that!)
