Main Subject - There are inherent differences between Indian (British) English and British English
Indian people generally assume that they speak and write in British English, but there are inherent differences between Indian (British) English and British English. It actually takes a little while for one to recognize this, but Indian (British) English is a distinct versi

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

d Indian people call it “brinjal”; the word is an English word, and it should probably be considered to be a British English word (Brinjal is called “eggplant” in American English). However, British people actually call the same vegetable “aubergine.” There is nothing inco
ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
rect about using the word “brinjal”, but if a sentence uses the word “brinjal” instead of “aubergine”, it does not exactly sound British.
