Reading this in a time without google on a phone and swipe to type (1981 first published), why did this book have any success?
Words/phrases I’ve looked up so far:
‘Tongas, ikkas and gharries’, sacred kine, tamasha, wallah, anglepoised light, takht, babaji, sahib, scission, exordium, shikaras, purdah, cheroot.
To be fair, the context clues are plentiful and it’s otherwise easy reading.
