The Jewel in the Crown
World War II has shown that the British are not invincible and the self-rule lobby is gaining supporters. Against this background, Daphne Manners, an English girl, is raped. The racism, brutality and hatred launched upon the head of her Indian lover echo the violence perpetrated on Daphne and reveal the desperate state of Anglo-Indian relations.
