Indian English

In his column in "second serve" Farrukh Dhondy betrays a lack of full familiarity with the Englishes of Indians. He writes, "Plenty water has 'flowed' under the fridge". For a true representation of Indians' English he should have used the word 'flown' instead of 'flowed'. I hope he will make a note of this.
