Product Information
In the tradition of 'Hobson-Jobson', 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: dungaree; chintz; and lacquer are revealed as having a Hindi origin. Also included are entries on words tied to Hinduism such as guru; gherao; nirvana; asana; avatar; and mantra.Product Identifiers
