Updated: May 4, 2025

"There's the Afghan, and, as a highlander, he despises all the dwellers in Hindoostan-with the exception of the Sikh, whom he hates as cordially as the Sikh hates him. The Hindu loathes Sikh and Afghan, and the Rajput that's a little lower down across this yellow blot of desert has a strong objection, to put it mildly, to the Maratha who, by the way, poisonously hates the Afghan.
