Nicely done, Actual (may I call you Actual?), nicely done.  I feel
certain that you have extracted every bit of intelligence this film is
likely to offer me, complete with the requisite substantiation and
backup references.  By elaborating on the title itself (which I had
always suspected was a mistranslation precisely because I couldn't
make much of it), you establish a convincing authority.  Your
rendering of the main themes and your explication of the ways in which
the pointlessness and illogic are exactly the point and the logic of
it make an annoying but coherent kind of sense.  The smoking jacket is
an especially nice touch that inspires confidence in your
interpretation.  Thank you for all the trouble you went to for $3.87.

Thanks actualwolf and rebekah for your answers and comments. I
appreciate the answers and comment.

Very through, I also liked the bibliographic method of giving me the information.

Thank you, Actualwolf.  The answer was wonderful. It is not only
complete on its face, but it refers me to excellent, relevant sites. I
have been looking for the answer to this question for years - off and
on.  Thanks again.

Believe it or not, I remember the bit about the soup.  Thanks!

I should have been more percise in my question. I wanted the number of
Hindus the British killed by violence only, during their colonization.
Plus the war dead of the British which actualwolf-ga did very well.
I'm impressed by all the info he gave me. Thank you.
