Answer 1

This is the Rite Too India programme. It's an attempt by the central and several state governments to improve English amongst Indian citizens by encouraging them to get pen-friends from around the world. I personally converse with more than two Indians quite often. I find it enjoyable and - at times - humourous. It's always fun to read the correspondence I receive at dinner parties.
