Hello, I would be glad to read Neel's works on post-colonial way of life. And I want to add a couple of words on this topic. I am sure that colonial life makes great negative impact on the society cs usually colonies are inhabited by poor people who are treated like slaves by rich people and landowners. For example, people of Gilgit Baltistan are increasingly becoming frustrated with Pakistan’s policy of exploiting its natural resources while denying them even basic amenities and human rights. Increased exploitation and corruption are fuelling a sense of denial and deprivation among the residents of the region. You can watch proofs at http://www.tubesfan.com/watch/pakistan-s-colonial-attitude-keeps-gilgit-... I only hope that Mr Ahuja mentioned this kind of difficulties in his works.
Best regards from L.K.
