Indian Idylls by An Idle Exile

Indian Idylls by An Idle Exile is a collection of reflective essays that provide a personal, lyrical portrayal of British India during the colonial period. Written by an anonymous author, the book paints vivid pictures of Indian landscapes, people, and culture, blending the author’s observations with a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the country. The essays explore various aspects of Indian life, from its traditions and festivals to the complexities of colonial governance. While it captures the beauty and charm of India, the work also subtly critiques the disconnection felt by foreigners living in the subcontinent.
