The Native Born; or, the Rajah's People

"The Native Born; or, the Rajah's People" by I. A. R. Wylie unveils a story of cultural clashes and inner battles set against the backdrop of British India; it begins with two women, Christine Stafford and Margaret Caruthers, facing imminent danger, their despair setting the stage for a story where personal relationships are tested by the socio-political tensions of the time; Christine's maternal worries and Margaret's stoicism hint at hidden depths as they await their husbands' return, and the narrative contrasts their grim situation with the lighter veneer of colonial social life, suggesting a path of character development and thematic exploration.
