Reviews

'This book offers an unusual yet convincing set of insights into the ways in which this language, mother-tongue of none but a handful of colonial and postcolonial elites in one of the world's most populous countries, still manages to exert and train its magnetic hold several decades after Independence.' Ananya Kabir, King's College London
