Where these came from

These English-speaking lawyers come from 5 sources, led by the UK Foreign Office's Find a professional service abroad (42), a United States embassy or consulate (34) and a French diplomatic mission (15).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in India?
We list 99, in 15 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?
New Delhi, with 21 of the 99.
Is English unusual for lawyers in India?
96% of the 103 lawyers 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.
