Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Angrezi Dikhawa delves into the complex layers of modern Indian society, exploring how the legacy of British colonialism continues to shape our cultural perceptions. Follow the journey of Ramesh Yadav, a young man from Bihar working in a Delhi call center, as he faces silent shame and loud judgments-simply for the language he speaks.Why do we praise a broken English sentence but mock a pure Bhojpuri one?This powerful debut by Anubhav captures a quiet rebellion-a plea for dignity in one's mother tongue. "I've seen it," Anubhav says, "friends in Kushinagar raising kids to say 'Mom' not 'Ma, ' ashamed of Bhojpuri or UP Hindi. At work, colleagues avoid their Marathi, Kannada, Odia-thinking English is superior. That pain made me write."Angrezi Dikhawa is not just a story-it's a mirror. It reflects our daily choices between accent and authenticity, between global shine and rooted identity. Through Ramesh's journey-from glass towers of Delhi to muddy banks of Pipra's Ganga-the book reminds us: language is not status. It's soul.A deeply human tale of belonging, shame, pride-and the quiet war between who we are and who we're told to be.
