“The Two Lady Rams” as a Critique of British Colonial Regime
Mulk Raj Anand’s story “The Two Lady Rams” is a scathing critic of British colonialism in India. A striking feature of the story is its sharp representation of the writer’s view. Anand has a wholesome hatred for the colonial masters who, as he thinks, are singularly inept and formal about the human details of lives.
The beginning of the story indicates an interesting aspect of the mechanism of British rule in pre-independence India. The colonial masters considered the support from the wealthy and privileged class important for the stability of their regime. The author considers such an attitude cynical as the provisions of the colonial rule go against the larger interests of the poor and dispossessed of the country.
