* TheBaroness: Catherine Buxton fulfills a lot of the qualifications for the Rosa Klebb type, being an overtly domineering woman with a nasty sadistic streak, most blatantly in Bheem's flogging scene when she casually tosses down a whip lined with nails down to Ram and explicitly orders him to use it on a wooden post first just to show how it'll tear through Bheem's flesh.

After effectively kidnapping a child from her village, Governor Scott stops one of his soldiers from shooting the child's mother on the spot when she tries to stop their convoy...because bullets are expensive. He then permits the soldier to club the mother to death with a nearby tree branch.

It is in this scene that Scott Buxton also drops the "do you know how much the bullet in your gun cost?" speech that forms the strong anti-colonialist backbone of the movie.
