James returned to Malaya at the request of his father.
“My father got fed up and he asked me to come back…..It is in India that I recognised that I was not an Indian. I had been de-culturalised almost completely…. And so when my father asked me to come back……I came back.”
This is a photograph taken of the ship, the SS Sirdhana owned by the British India Steam Navigation Company. Below are some photographs of James with his friends from Calcutta and his comrades from the R.W.A.C.
