Congratulations. You’ve been promoted. 🎩☕️ Post: "The Angrej left India in 1947, but the word stayed. It remains a linguistic fossil of the British Raj, transformed from a symbol of colonial power into a casual descriptor for anyone who says 'Cheers' instead of 'Ram Ram.'" angrej

If your Nani says it, you’re being scolded for eating with a fork. If a Delhi auto-wallah says it, you’re about to be charged double the fare. And if a Bollywood song from the 90s says it... you know you’re about to see someone in blue jeans and a leather jacket doing a really stiff Western dance. angrej
