<DIV></DIV>>Dear List Members: 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>I am writing a paper on Orwell's Burmese Days and was wondering if someone 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>more familiar with the Anglo-Indian literary tradition could help. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>My question is whether Flory's Burmese servant Ko S'la, who reminds me, to 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>some extent, of the figure of the house slave (or the mammy figure) in the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>African-American racial economy, belongs to a comparable model of selflessly 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>devoted servant in Anglo-Indian literature? 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Thanks in advance. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>> 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Regards, 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Nalin
