As An Indian Sees America -- I: The Yellow Ad-Man

DESCRIPTION
Part one of a series in the Hindustan Review titled "As An Indian Sees America," written by Saint Nihal Sing. Sing opens by claiming that this series attempts to portray life in the U.S. that has not been portrayed to Indians, "things that appeal to the ludicrous side of an Indian traveller." Specifically, he discusses the advertising industry in the U.S. and "yellow journalism." Towards the end of the article, Sing notes that a "number of Americans have adopted Hindu names, styling themselves 'Pandits,' 'Yogis' and 'Swamis.'"
