Enunciado
Our physical alienation from India almost inevitably means that we
will not be capable of reclaiming precisely the thing that was lost; that
we will, in short, create fictions, not actual cities or villages, but invisible
ones, imaginary homelands, Indias of the mind. […] It may be argued
that the past is a country from which we have all emigrated […], but I
suggest that the writer who is out-of-country and even out-of-language
may experience this loss in an intensified form.
