India Now and Then - exam
We have studied India's past and present by focusing on the British Empire in India and class. First, we saw the topics reflected in the texts of Kipling and Orwell, then in the second part of the topic we focused on empire, class, and lack of social mobility by studying recent texts and films. We also looked at English as a Lingua Franca in Inda.
