“Sometimes working the system is the only way out of it. Just don’t ever buy into their crap. That’s how you’ll lose the outsider in you. Because the real you, the outsider, that’s where the real power is at... On the outside.”
An exotic masterpiece, a fascinating portrayal of 1930s Indian culture, that takes on both a tragedy of aristocrat in decline and the themes of pride and emotional loss, with critical yet sympathetic tones.
