The English-Knowing Men

The English-knowing Men is a phrase taken from one of Gandhi’s speeches in which he warned that the real enemy of India will not be the British, after independence, but ‘the English-knowing Men’, the anglicized Asians, Indian in appearance but English in terms of outlook. Roshan uses this as a springboard to reassess his position and identity in a bi-cultural environment. Here is a voice that is soft and vibrant.
