"This education has reduced us to a nation of morons; we were strangers to our own culture and camp followers of another culture, feeding on leavings and garbage...what about our own roots?"
The above lines have been taken from:

  • A.Orientalism by Edward Said
  • B.The English Teacher by RK Narayan
  • C.The Location of Culture by Homi K Bhabha
  • D.Devil on the Cross by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o

Answer: B

The key is The English Teacher by R. K. Narayan. What was not confirmed: the quotation about education reducing the nation to morons, strangers to their own culture and camp followers of another, could not be traced to a page of the novel in this review, and it also sounds like a postcolonial critique of education of the kind found in Ngugi or Said. The key is kept as printed since nothing shows it to be wrong. Orientalism, The Location of Culture and Devil on the Cross are the options it rejects.
