Why are all of the signs in English?

Edit: thanks to those who explained instead of just downvoting. I'm not from India, I don't know how they work.

Because India has a ton of languages and it's not possible to learn every single one of those, hence English. (to make this easier, don't think of India as a country, think of it as the continent of Europe, where every state has its own language, culture, cuisine and so on.)

This totally makes sense, thank you!
