Inhaltsangabe

In the tradition of <I>Hobson-Jobson</I>, this dictionary contains Indo-English idioms and English words derived from Hindi. It serves as both a reference book and an interesting cultural examination of language and the postcolonial relationship between the British and Indians. Such words as <I>dungaree</I>, <I>chintz</I>, and <I>lacquer</I> are revealed as having a Hindi origin. Also included are entries on words tied to Hinduism such as <I>guru</I>, <I>gherao</I>, <I>nirvana</I>, <I>asana</I>, <I>avatar</I>, and <I>mantra</I>.

Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
