With the growth of Indian cities, people are out at all unnatural hours. But this song, written in 1931, brings up the point that before, no one would have ventured out except…

Why Englishmen? They would have had important things to do, like run a government! Conduct business! Otherwise wield their power over Indians!

This post is inspired by having to go out today at noon in the 44 degree heat, and dedicated to the courageous tourists who manage to sight-see against all odds.
