I think, Kat, for the most part, the Brits looked upon those they colonized
as inferior culturally (the great white father syndrome). That was what
Gandhi used against them.

The music is fabulous and I didn't find the singng and dancing jarring. The
only beef I had with the film was that for the most part, the British are
portrayed as brutish prejudiced and without any consideration for their
Indian subjects. Of course as I have never studied British colonial policy
and governance in India, I can't say if this was generally the case or not.
I think it's time I did some reading up on the subject.
In any case, I love the film and highly recommend it. :)
