Judy Pearsall, editor of the Concise Oxford Dictionary of English, says, &#8220;People are reading Indian authors in English more widely than perhaps they have done before.&#8221; The article says, &#8220;The new tenth revised edition of Comprehensive Oxford English Dictionary, launched in India earlier this week, has massed hundreds of words of Indian origin.&#8221; Among the 600 new Indian English entries are words such as Hindutva (philosophy of a Hindu nation and life), panchayat (village council), puri (flat bread), dosa (also a flat bread) and chai (spiced tea).
