Not to be annoying, but I wish you wouldn't say 'copy'. It makes it sound like an affectation. India only recently gained independence and Indian English is strongly influenced by the way it was spoken in the UK at the time.
I'm sure you didn't mean anything by your choice of words but perhaps using "influenced by" or "derives from" would be better.
