Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in India?
We list 70, in 17 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Mumbai, with 18 of the 70.
Is English unusual for doctors in India?
100% of the 70 doctors we hold in India are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
