Imaginary Homelands by Salman Rushdie is a collection of essays.It first starts with the description of past & present.
"The past is a foreign country but photo tells me to invert this idea,it reminds me that it's my present that is foreign & the past is home-a lost city,Bombay."(Rushdie)
"What does it mean to be..?
Indian outside India...?"
Secondly it focus on Commonwealth literature that doesn't exit.There importance & an ignorance of Commonwealth is centered. Another side to look towards English is also there that is not so important in India while Rushdie believes in importance of communication through English.
Then it turns to discuss The new empire within Britain where power highlights it's significant position on Black.new empire treated women badly or abused & children also beaten up.even police threats not protect.
Another discussion take place on Hobson-Jobson,a name of dictionary. When Tajiya happened & there he listen "Ya Hussain" that comes as Hobson-Jobson.first language influence remains here. RP can be stopped through such invention of words.
Last description is on Attenborough's Gandhi.where criticism on Gandhian ideas also highlighted. Revolution through non violence also comes as now Dalit's meeting on getting rights can see in context. Selling Gandhian things in western market shows attitude to accept his ideas. Birla for example.
