  • ""Kamalini Sengupta's Rajmahal is indeed her Howard's End! The encompassing achievement of the novel is its penetration of a new stage in our human history: Sengupta's is among the first and unquestionably to me the most revealing description of the life of the post-colonialist and post-colonized living on, somehow together. The colonizers who have lost the sense of what home they came from, and the colonized finding they have become inexorably something like the people from whom they struggled so long to gain their freedom."--Nadine Gordimer, Nobel Prize Winner."
