Is French spoken in India?

With the exception of Puducherry, which used to be a small French colony, French is not really spoken at all in India. The French speakers in Puducherry are a very small number as well.Some (random) part of India was occupied by the French, while the British were the dominant ruler of the subcontinent.One such example is Pondicherry. The town has heavy french influence and French is still one of the official languages there. Google it to know more.So, the answer is yes, French is spoken by few Indians, subjects of former french colony.
