I dont know why the battle is for 'English' when it is about power.

As opposed to this language, would be the myriad *languages* and and
associated ethnicities which now regulate much politics at micro and
larger levels. All of this is global.

Tariq Rehman's 'Language and Ethnicity in Pakistan' is a good survey
of this although still cursory given the huge populations and little
study.
