Answer
Even the brands like Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Puma doesn't sell shoes by categorizing them as Running or Basketball or Hiking. And also none of the Lifestyle, ShoppersStop like stores carry them. I don't remember finding one in the sports shop either.
Common people still views shoes as fashion accessory.
Check Woodlands as they sell some Timberland shoes. Otherwise check WildCraft stores who sell gears for hiking and adventure trips.
Wildcraft can be found in Commercial Street, Jayanagar 3rd Block, Koramangala
There are some upscale stores in Lavelle Road between Kasturiba Road (end of MG Road towards Cubbon park) and Church Street. Try it out in that area.

How did the British feel about serving the Indians in India?

In the early 20th century, when Britain had control of India, how did they feel about serving them? Were they honorable men? Why or why not?
Thanks! :D
Answer
I am not understanding what you mean by the British SERVING the Indians.... ?
I know that the British USED the INDIANS to "service" THEM.
The British made the Indians servants, well, they "hired" them if that is what you wish to call it.
I recently had a neighbor whose father was a small child during the British occupation of India. The boy had been offered a job as a houseboy in a British officer's home BUT he had to have a pair of shoes to get the job. His entire family had to come together, uncles, aunts and cousins included to pool all their money to buy the boy a pair of shoes so he could get this job to be able to help support his family.
The officer never considered that the boy's family was simply too poor to afford shoes and just figured the child was a semi-barbarian and was doing him a favor by working him 12-14 hrs a day for a very small pittance, and not as a young man feeding his family.
An Elitist attitude will do that.
Indian soldiers serving in the military were mostly strong, honorable men, serving on BOTH sides.
Of course, the British looked down upon them as inferiors.
Not all, but most.
Conquerors always feel superior.
I guess it really depended on what side you were on, the British side or the opposing Indian side.
Keep in mind that India was already a great, complex, learned, and ANCIENT society when Alexander the Great invaded them..... while residents of the British Isles were running around in fur loinclothes.
Just not really sure what you are asking here.
