Reading Vissavajjhala's comments on the attitude of the English people
during the colonial period, I remembered a passage I read in a English
Chronicle published from London since 1700s.

The 1857 issue says about Indian people. "It is difficult to teach English
alphabets to these people. How could one possibly imagine heralding the
treasures of Byron, Milton etc." (Not exact words but similar.)
