The Metamorphosis By Carlyle McFarland (9789358901726)

Description

Metamorphosis’ traces the racial and social changes in the demographics of La Martiniere College, Lucknow. The College was founded by a bequest from Maj. Gen. Claude Martin H.E.I.C.S. It is now more than 175 years old.
This book traces the social demographic changes in the Institution. Recalling the typical English boarding school in Tom Brown’s School Days, this book records the way in which discrimination, race and social customs have ceded to the requirements of a progressive India.
Nostalgia captured in tradition has contributed to a blend of cultures in an institution whose antecedents live on in memory and practice.
