While I agree that it is no stubbornness to not to learn English (there are many factors), though learning it has certainly been better for earning a living for many Indians. It is also great for the world. Had the mathematicians like S.N. Bose, Ramanujan not known English as their second/third language, the whole world would have been at loss. India doesn't have a 'national language' which everyone must learn. English helps them (Indians themselves) stay connected and to be able to converse.
Same goes with the world. If there is a global language everyone speaks, it's good for everyone.
Though I think English is a bad choice for being the 'global language', but here we are, with it being the official language of most countries in the world.
