Life happened because I turned the pages~~Alberto Manguel

Here we go again. Indians who write in that Indian language referred to as a non-regional, non-vernacular...the Babu gives up--okay, Indians Writhing in Ingliss. (He doesn't have his spellcheck on today.) Anyway, all of you out there who hold Indian passports and happen to write in English, know ye that ye write for the outside world and for marketing reasons. The otherwise astute U R Ananthamurthy is the latest in a long line of writers to say so, presumably because they're just as sick of being referred to as bhasha writers as the IWE school is of being called by an acronym that sounds like it belongs to Yewie, son of Chewbacca.
