Hmmmm ... true for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if Indian English 
overtook it over the next 2 to 3 decades.

Already the present continuous is becoming common (almost prevalent)  
where we traditionalists would have used the simple present - at least, 
I am thinking it is - and that was largely an influence from the Indian 
sub-continent.
