Sam Miller shouldn’t have bothered translating this book in English.
It was better if it were left untranslated in some dingy French bookstore not bothering anyone.
But the deed was done. All I can glean from this book is that Europeans are brave and Indians are treacherous chickens.
It actually wouldn’t have mattered if French had ruled instead of English, with the amount of racist slurs that were sprinkled in the book – the situation wouldn’t have been much different.
The French and the British looked at an Indian as an unruly savage who needed to be disciplined.
A question to the publisher: why bother translating a book for the Indian audience, which emasculates Indians and treats them like shit?
Utterly disappointed.
