Child of Two Worlds | |
| Bhowani Junction / int_3eb9e19f | comment |
Child of Two Worlds: Played for Drama in regard to Victoria's inner conflict about her mixed-race status and all it entails. She feels racially superior to Indians but socially inferior to Brits. She grows resentful of Britain's culture after her experience serving in the British Army but can't quite connect with the Indian people from her childhood town when she returns. The climax of her character development is choosing another Anglo-Indian as her romantic partner. | |

Heart Is Where the Home Is: Anglo-Indian Victoria must choose between the British Army Colonel Rodney Savage, Ranjit (a Sikh man), and Patrick (a fellow Anglo-Indian and her childhood friend). In the original book, she chooses Patrick after overcoming her issues with social inferiority. Unfortunately, they suffer an Adaptation Relationship Overhaul in the movie; with Victoria ending up with the dashing white Colonel Savage. | |
