Subject: Punjabi or Hindustani slurs on British?
A film-maker is doing a film on the Komagatu Maru incident (the turning back
of a ship of Indian immigrant farm workers from Vancouver, BC in 1914). She
needs to know what slurs, slang, or derogatory words the Indians involved
would have applied to the British or to the employees of the Immigration
offices. I already suggested Ferenghi and Gora (log), but does anyone know
any others?
Thanks,
Allen Thrasher
