This review is from: Hobson-Jobson: Glossary of Colloquial Anglo-Indian Words And Phrases (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for those who want to know more about the splendidly expansive and imaginative world of English as spoken in South Asia a century ago. With so many words taken over into standard English (veranda, jungle, and the like) from Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, and so many others, it is fascinating to see where they come from. Sort of a supplement to the OED. It is thoroughly enjoyable and scholarly.
