Old Blighty's language?

India contributed about a tenth of the new words added to the 7th and 8th editions of the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary. As new words like "airdash" and "prepone" join the club of English words originating from India, iQ takes a look at some of the long-established members of this club. One is in the title of this post itself.

Each of the following images contains or is associated with English words of Indian origin. Can you find them?
