Brown Sahib

Brown Sahib is a term used to refer to natives of the South Asia who have been heavily influenced by Western (usually British) culture and thinking. It is used derogatorily by many from these lands who don't care for this influence. In Pakistan it was mentioned by politician Imran Khan as a colonial mentality that the ruling class exercised over its people [http://www.themodernreligion.com/ugly/selective-islam.html] .

"The Brown Sahib" is the title of a book by the Ceylon journalist/writer (Varindra) Tarzie Vittachi [1921 - 1993] , published in London by Andre Deutsch in 1962 and again as "The Brown Sahib Revisited" by Penguin Books at New Delhi in 1987. The book delineated various forms of the phenomenon visible in the post-colonial era, including "The Brown Sahib," "The Black Knight" and "The Off-White Blimp."
