Many famous Brits were born in India. Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell etc. It doesn't make them Indian. Even the Brits who were born brought up and died in India have a separate exclusive graveyards and cemeteries only for Brits.
@@dv9239 Woke logic. I could identify as a Table. He's has the rights and privileges in Britain of a native that even a person of Indian descent born and bred in Britain for generations does not. And Ruskin has rights and privileges in India as well that he and his family had during British Raj.
Identifying as table is too far left ,he is one of the few great people we peasent ,yes u also a peasent can't compare to,they can choose they r the genious found one among a million ,indian should happily accept him but indian are hella racist too much divison ,a bihari is racist to Bengali ,what to expect with indians @@locusstandi8329
I am a big fan of yours , sir. I own many great books written by you. My wish is to meet you one day, even for five minutes. Pray 🙏 for a long life for you.

He has lived in India all his life. He understands the essence of India , the Indian pysche and Indian society. He is not like other British writers you mentioned. You can see his love for this land in his books which I'm sure you have not read.
@@siddharthshekhar909 Ruskin Bond's stories were part of both ICSE and CBSE curricullum in my time. If he loved this country he'd be incorporating Indian culture and history in his writing with truly Indian characters instead of portraying India through an Anglican and Anglicized lens. with Anglo-Indian characters. Many of his books and stories make one feel the British Raj never ended and the British never left India. He's lived in a 'hill station' built by the British for the British for 50 plus years. Nothing Indian about him. Dale Kennedy observes about the Indian context, "the hill station (...) was seen as an exclusive British preserve: here it was possible to render the Indian into an outsider" the British "sought further distance from what they saw as a disease-ridden land by [escaping] to the Himalayas in the north". Other factors included anxieties about the dangers of life in India, among them "fear of degeneration brought on by too long residence in a debilitating land". The hill stations were meant to reproduce the home country, illustrated in Lord Lytton's statement about Ootacamund in the 1870s as having "such beautiful English rain, such delicious English mud."
This great man loves India and has a lot of regard for the Indian people
Confused we are, so much so that we term Rishi Sunak as an Indian and Ruskin Bond as a foreigner. Best wishes to you Sir.

If you're Indian why do Brits who were born, brought up and died in India have have separate exclusive graveyards and cemeteries only for Brits.
Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell and many famous Brits were born in India but it doesn't make them Indian.
