There is no consistent Institution about any linguistic or stylistic use of Indian English. There is no speech community that would set the norms of IE. No one takes pride in being called the speaker of Indian English. Indian Constitution itself accepts the British English as the standard form. Speakers competence in IE is severely limited, we know what speaker can express but we seldom know what he can not express. English is a second language in India so it is very difficult for the people to cross the superior level. The norms of Indian English are not within the speech community. They exist outside in BrE and AmE.
