About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

Nigel Hankin is a tour guide in New Delhi, India. He was formerly a British soldier stationed in New Delhi in 1945 and has lived there ever since.
