Evelyn Waugh's observations on Guyanese Indians
“The more I saw of the Indians the greater I was struck by their similarity to the English. They like living with their families at great distance from their neighbours; they regard strangers with suspicion and despair; they are unprogressive and unambitious, fond of pets, hunting and fishing; they are undemonstrative … and their chief aim seems to be on all occasions to render themselves inconspicuous.”
From here.
