To eat pigs and drink wine, to bite greased cartridges and to mix pig's fat with sweetmeats, to destroy Hindu and Mussalman temples on pretence of making roads, to build churches, to send clergymen into the street to preach the Christian religion, to institute English school, and pay people a monthly stipend for learning the English sciences, while the places of worship of Hindus and Mussalmans are to the day entirely neglected; with all this, how can people believe that religion will not be interfered with?
I love how even back then people recognized how weird and sketchy british cuisine was. I'm also strangely excited at that Karnataka representation
