Sing English songs out loud! You think were morons?
Watch news shows on channels like CNN and BBC if there is a channel worse than CNN, please let me know thanks!
Do not read local newspapers. Focus on national newspapers yeah right.dont worry about whats going on in your home, but make it a point to know whats going on everywhere else, because somehow that is more important and the former is irrelevant.
Make an effort to speak in English to your friends and family lol (SMS slang for laugh out loud).
To me it looks like all your tips point to one direction only become American.
Language which is a product of culture defines a people. Mr. /Ms. Nasha Fitter, we do not wish to get converted to being Americans. I know all well that English is the only language that is close to a global language and being well-versed in it is a definite asset if one wishes to do business globally.

Hi Bhaghwat,
I support your views. This article sounded to me like asking us to become American.
While I appreciate the importance of English skills that one should possess in order to enable ourselves to work in a global environment, transforming us completely to English channels, English songs, English newspapers, English books will only lead to destruction of our on culture (in all respects).
I request Rediff to help in preserving Indian culture rather than promoting foreign culture.
