'...after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but
finally ... an inferior people' Based on his experiences as a
policeman in Burma, George Orwell's first novel is set during the
end days of British colonialism, when Burma is ruled from Delhi as
part of British India. In the fictional district of Kyauktada,
based on Kathar, U Po Kyin, a corrupt Burmese magistrate, is
planning to destroy the reputation of the Indian Dr Veraswami. The
doctor's main protection is his friendship with John Flory who, as
a European, has higher prestige. Dr Veraswami wants the privilege
of becoming a member of the British club because he thinks that if
his standing with the Europeans is good, U Po Kyin's intrigues
against him will not prevail. U Po Kyin begins a campaign to
persuade the Europeans that the doctor holds disloyal, anti-British
opinions, and believes anonymous letters with false stories about
the doctor 'will work wonders'.
