![]() These Savage Shores holds that narrative, but hopefully, Bishan and Kori come out as the winners. Yet, they all ended with British winning. The British were always the enemies in the colonial stories and Indians as the heroes. These Savage Shores combines all the stories I grew up hearing about colonial and ancient India. “Savage” in imperialist and colonial ideology is understood to be the native of the land. Ram V., Sumit Kumar, Vittorio Astone, and Aditya Bidikar paint the vampire Pierrepont and white British imperialist as the savages. The team does an excellent job of reversing the narrative. There is no white savior complex in this series.Įven the title is fitting for the series. He does not fear reprisal because he knows he can defend himself. Bishan can stand up to Pierrefont and the British imperialist with his own power. He beats Alian Pierrefont to a pulp after discovering Pierrefont attempting to harm Kori. Bishan is the most evident example of this. The characters do not revolve around or connect to in any way to the white British cast. ![]() helps place the Indian characters as powerful and independent in their own right. ![]()
