Abstract
This article investigates the hegemonic cultural repercussions of linguistic colonization by comparing the language policies of the British in India and the Soviets in Central Asia. It further discusses Anglicist thought and Russification as the policy tools opted by the British and the Soviets and their ramifications on the masses. The article concludes by comparing the current linguistic landscape of post-British India and post-Soviet Central Asia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
