More than 1/4 Indians don't even speak Hindi. Not everyone in India is proficient in English, but the chances are that government officials, business people and professionals can speak English.

Indians have different languages but they definitely speak english. Hindi is their national language. Still differnt people have different mother tongue in India.
What is meant by important? Mere number of speakers? Or as an international means of communication? Most Asian languages are pretty much limited to the respective countries. Who speaks Japanese outside Japan? Or Korean outside the Koreas?
I think English is the most important language in Asia.
The only Asian language I am interested in personally is Tamil.
I know a couple girls from Thailand, the Philippines and Brazil that can speak Japanese (basic level).
But it is not important. In Brazil there is a big Japanese expat community. But they might as well speak Portuguese only without any problems. Nor does a Thai need to speak Japanese, there is just no point in learning it.
