Description:STEP BACK TO GLIMPSE A BYGONE TIME…Mahlee, dhobie, cook, horsekeeper,Each were to the chokee sent, Last of all the wretched sweeper- Still the Colonel's liquor went.'Devlish odd this!' said the Colonel'What a land to soldier in!Aboo, this is most infernal -Who the blazes drinks my gin?'Sahib's India's is a panaromic look at the lives of the British in colonial India. Culled from Raj literature , it reveals little-known aspects of their lives and their dealings with their Indian subjects. Drawing from contemporary journals, plays and poems, the author provides wonderful descriptions of British homes and servants , their tastes and fashions, cultural idiosyncrasies, profligacy, sports, hunts and shoots, giving us, with the relaxed familiarity of the after -dinner raconteur, a flavour of the period. The book is peppered with a host of characters- astrologers, jugglers, magicians, grass widows, the 'fishing fleet', missionaries, nautch girls, mavericks and eccentrics- who made India their home as the British turned from traders to empire- builders, and is interspersed with period photographs, paintings and sketches.
