      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              Indian-American novelist and metaphysician (born Mysore 1908)              In _Kanthapura_ (1938) he writes:              "...English is not really an alien language to us. It is the language of       our intellectual make-up, like Sanskrit or Persian was before, but not       of our emotional make-up....We cannot write like the English. We should       not...Our method of expression therefore has to be a dialect which will       some day prove to be as distinctive and colorful as the Irish or the       American."       A vision of a literary Indian English.              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_Rao              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
