Discuss the following in groups of three or four
What do you think are the reasons for the references made to the English people and the British monarchy?
Answer :
The author makes references to the English people and the British monarchy in an attempt to indicate the unfortunate reality where Indians take pride in being slaves to the monarchy. This is clearly implied when the author states that the lion moustache was worn by the maharajas and nawabs, the same style of moustache worn by the British army generals. The Indians still hold the English people with high respect even though they have exercised their authority in a foreign land.
