The Symbolic Landscape of the British Hill Station in India

Kenny, Judith T. "Climate, Race, and Imperial Authority: The Symbolic Landscape of the British Hill Station in India." Jstor.com. Taylor & Francis, Ltd., n.d. Web. <jstor.org/stable/2564433>.

This article has a lot to do with race in india.

"Ultilitarian beliefs encouraged education of Indians so that they may be raised to British Standards and values. Yet, as Bhabha describes, the educated Indian subject became the ultimate figure of mockery. The "mimic" colonial subject suggested that to be Anglicized was emphatically not to be English."

I will use this in my paper by arguing that another way English psychologically colonized the Indian was making them believe that if they became more like an Englishman that they could become an Englishman but in reality they were emphasizing how an Indian could never be an Englishman.
