Synopsis
'Jewel in the Crown', 'The Far Pavilions', 'A Passage to India' - for 200 years British writers have achieved great success with their accounts of life on the Indian subcontinent. Less well-known are the writings of those Indians who travelled to Britain and recorded their observations throughout the same period. Hardly any of this work has ever been translated, yet it represents a fascinating perspective on how the Indians have seen us. With specially commissioned translations Arena presents this extraordinary testament for the first time.
