Abstract
While students discovered that the elite civic conscience served to render the Indian “migrant workers” invisible, they felt that a discursive correctness of terms called for debate. This article records their overwhelming sense of ethical quandary as others and othering gained traction in classrooms where English at once endorsed and condemned such usages.
English in India, displaced workers/“strangers”, Walt Whitman's “To You,”, James Baldwin's “Stranger in the Village,”, Eavan Boland's “Quarantine”
