Abstract

In Burmese Days, George Orwell presents the relationships between the English people and the Indian people in the days of the British colonialism in Burma. As time goes by, the interactions between the English and the Indians result in the othering process as differences rather than the similarities are emphasized by the English. Thus, the Indians are perceived as the other, as the non-white, non-Christian by the English. In this article the perceptions of the other will be studied with regard to George Orwell's Burmese Days. Moreover, the Eurocentric perceptions of the East and India will be dealt with closely.
