In day-glo pictures backed by catchy music, Meena Nanji laments the cultural loss suffered by India as a result of being colonized by Britain.

Devices used by Nanji to visualize the way the native languages of India were suppressed include excerpts from film classics shot in Hollywood and Britain.
