Kyauktada is described as hot and sultry. It is a small town of about four thousand. The overwhelming majority of the inhabitants are Burmese, but there are also a hundred Indians, two Eurasians, sixty Chinese, and Seven Europeans. (Pg. 16) It is near the jungle and the Irrawaddy River. There are many trees and flowers, including honeysuckle. Though the English have jobs to perform much of their time is consumed with drinking whiskey in the Club, retreating from the "prickly" heat, napping, and occasionally playing tennis or hunting. Though there is not much physical activity by the English, they do not complain about it. They do complain incessantly about the heat and about the possible acceptance of natives into their exclusively European Club.

In Burmese Days the overwhelming majority of British held themselves superior to the Burmese. They feel that it is their duty to rule over the less intelligent "nigge

The inferiority of the natives is related in many ways. One method Orwell uses is the description of the natives. When Ma Hla May, Flory's mistress, and Elizabeth see another the differences between them are striking. Elizabeth is as "faintly colored as a apple blossom", while Ma Hla May is "dark and garish." This "meeting" occurs on Flory's veranda with Flory present. It is then he realizes how strange Ma Hla May's body is. This perception of Flory's places value on the structure and characteristics of an Englishwoman's body thereby degrading the native's form. The description of U Po Kyin is not favorable either. He is describes as an enormous man with teeth that are often stained blood red by betel juice. Though a successful, well off magistrate, he accepts bribes and admits that he has done much wrong in his life. In the novel he is depicted as deceitful and mean. An example of this is his attempt to frame Dr. Veraswami for writing a derogatory letter in one of the local papers. U Po Kyin also masterminds a riot to make Dr. Veraswami look bad, while at the same time making himself look life a hero. This backfires, making Dr. Veraswami a hero. U Po Kyin's actions along with the collaboration of other Indians, characterize the native population as underhanded, lazy, and conniving.

The disagreements in the Club about the doctor's membership are cut short by a growing riot outside, masterminded by U Po Kyin. Dr. Veraswami proves his loyalty to the British by attempting to hold back the crowd. Though U Po Kyin states that he too was trying to restrain the crowd, the Club does not believe him. Dr. Veraswami is consequently cleared of the problems that U Po Kyin had created for him and his desire to become a member of the Club is seriously discussed. However, U Po Kyin succeeds in his quest for the membership to the Club by ruining Flory's relationship with Elizabeth, which results in Flory killing Flo, his dog, and committing suicide. The prestige that Dr. Veraswami had possessed died with Flory. This ruined Flory, making a membership in the Club impossible.
