This is an absolutely bloody marvelous film
It is one of those little gems that worked its way into the public domain before the hideously self-conscious PC brigade came along and outlawed everything.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that people should be made fun of because of what they are; only of what they choose to be.
This film is about racism, it is not racist. (in the same way as it ain't half hot mum was - another classic.) It is about the way that the inhabitants of a country were treated by the Brits and is really a pisstake of the way the the Brits handled India over a hundred years ago.
They wouldn't dare make a film like this nowadays. Pity. Good job I have a copy of the DVD at home.

that's just not right
They wouldnt make a film like this these days because large sections of the audience would be offended by the crass jokes and clumsy stereotypes.

Oi!
This may be true for most of them, but Carry On up the Khyber is a classic! Not least because of Roy Castle.
