   Why was Memsahib sent to England?

   • One of the most poignant moments in almost every memsahib’s life in India was when she had to part with her children as they were sent to England to get their education. Parents delayed this event as much as they could, but it was necessary to send them as soon as they were old enough to travel, sometimes as early as the age of six.

   What happened to 'memsahibs'?

   • Over the years, the appellation gradually disappeared from common parlance, resurfacing occasionally in films (Bengali classics, which I acquired a taste for because of familial influence, and in mainstream Bollywood as well, although that was rare). By the time I began studying ‘memsahibs’, the term was no longer used like it was before.”
