The Origins of Banerjee
Sheila Banerjee is an anglicized form of her original name which would have been Bondobantha. It's a name that was changed by the British when they went over there because they really basically couldn't be bothered to pronounce it or couldn't pronounce it. For me it's always been a very mixed name because it signifies that we were colonial subjects and so it's a tricky name to be carrying around.
