From sometime, say from late 90s ,I am noticing a change in Indian English, it is shifting from British English to US English (Indian English, by the grace of Great Queen is still flourishing ).
I am sure its not only me but lot of others must have noticed the same, colour suddenly became color, optimisation became optimization.
Suddenly I found that actress has become actor.Not in any cheap English print media but in prestigious media as India Today .
First I thought it was printing mistake, then I realized that all actress are being referred as actor.
I am sure my grandparent must have seen language transition from Urdu to Hindi, my parents saw Hindi to English and I am watching English to English.
I am sure my son would be learning US english and for him actress would never exist, everyone would be actor(I dont think that actor is gender neutral word for film artist.)
