Abstract
English language has been playing many roles in the overall social development of the
subcontinent at the same time being a controversial issue in terms of a threat to the local
languages. Democracy as worldwide accepted way of political structure, its basic values and
principles come through English language education into South Asia. Since education system, in
any country, provides the input to the political system, thus, if the democratic political system is a
common desire, the first aspect to work on must be the educational institutions. However,
struggle towards democracy has been an emerging phenomenon in the overall scenario of South
Asia, and English language as official language and language of education has been playing its
role in it, which is not well explored. On the basis of latest research studies, a comparison has
been drawn between the three important countries in order to explore what and how English
language plays its role in spreading and practicing the democratic principles and values in the
educational institutions.
