George Orwell Burmese Days is established in 1920s imperial Burma, inside the fictional district of Kyauktada. Because the story opens, U Po Kyin, a corrupt Burmese magistrate is planning to destroy the reputation with the Indian medical doctor – Dr. Veraswami. The Doctor’s main protection is his friendly relationship with James Flory who, being a pukka sahib (European white man), has increased respect. U Po Kyin starts his plan by sending nameless letters with bogus testimonies in regards to the medical doctor, and he even sends a subtly threatening letter to Flory.
