However, despite this warm welcome, Nathan becomes horrified by the nakedness and sins the villagers exhibit. This scene provokes him to proclaim that the “[n]akedness and darkness of the[ir]
I read an Ethnography called "A Song Of Longing, An Ethiopian Journey", by Kay Kaufman Shelemay. Shelemay gathered a good amount of religious music in a town of Gondar, a city in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian rules and regulations upset her research and ended up studying the Ethiopian Christian service in Addis Ababa. During that time, she met and married a Jewish businessman, Jack Shelemay, from a Middle Eastern (Aden), whose family was permanently settled in Ethiopia.

She provides the imagery of Nathan before the war, laughing and calling her his “honey lamb” (196). This seems foreign when compared to the arrogant and bitter Nathan that has been depicted thus far. Nathan endured serious trauma and returned home with a “suspicion of his own cowardice from which he could never recover.” (197) Nathan’s constant guilt causes him to overcompensate with trying to please God with his aggressive evangelism. After the war, Nathan meant to absolve his shame by saving “more souls than had perished on the road from Bataan” (198).

This could be seen on how the British were exploiting the Indian’s resources and through cheap labor. The film reflects the labor of Indian immigrants in the scene where they were protesting by refusing to go back and work in the mines and were charged at by the British on horseback. This act of violent of the British in terms of unjust labor can also be identify in the French Africa “natives” who were legally obligated for statute labor, a practice that lasted though 1946. It involves the harsh condition of labor in the colonial life where British officials would make the native villagers work a lot and mistreated them in the process similar to how the Indians immigrants were being treated (Pg. 894). Along with this, we could see how Gandhi had dealt with the economic regulation by his protest of the British mercantile system.
